Monday Must Read
Be sure to check out this article from UVA Today on the Citizen Leaders and Sports Ethics Community Impact Fellowship, a new leadership program for student-athletes started by UVA Athletics and UVAโs Contemplative Sciences Center.ย @UVATFCC athlete Emma Myer, Madeleine Boylston (@UVAvolleyball), Morgan Murphy (@UVAsoftball) and Quentin Matsui (@UVAMensLax) are among those who are participating in the 12-month fellowship, which started last spring. Brief overview: Fellows identify a specific, pressing challenge to the well-being or flourishing of their teammates or the larger community of student-athletes at UVA, then spend their fellowship year designing and implementing programs to overcome those challenges with evidence-based tools, such as mindfulness meditation and other contemplative practices.

UVA womenโs soccer alum Becky Sauerbrunn shared a hilarious story about a game of Hungry Hungry Hippos from US Womenโs National Team training camp. As the tweet said โitโs what happens when soccer players stop being polite, and start getting real.โ
