    One of college basketballs great traditions was introduced by Fred

    Schaus at West Virginia University in 1955. It was during that time that Schaus and Mountaineer supporter Alex Mumford came up with the idea of rolling out an elaborate gold and blue carpet for the Mountaineers to run out on during pregame warm-ups. In addition, Mountaineer players warmed up with a special gold and blue painted basketball.

    West Virginia University continued this tradition during the George King era until it was interrupted in the late 1960s. Former Mountaineer player Gale Catlett reintroduced the carpet when he returned to West Virginia in 1978, and it has since become the highlight of pregame introductions at the WVU Coliseum.

    ROLL OUT THE CARPET!

  • CHAMPS LIFE SKILLS The many challenges that todays college student-athletes face, on and o the playing eld, are unmatched in the history of higher education. Unfortunately, many students are not well prepared to face these challenges or encounter life issues that undermine health and success in college. To prepare student-athletes for the demands of college life and beyond, the NCAA developed the CHAMPS (Challenging Athletes Minds for Per-sonal Success)/Life Skills program. In the spring of 1995, West Virginia University Intercollegiate Athletics initiated its own CHAMPS/Life Skills program. WVU was one of only 170 schools selected by the NCAA to participate in their national pilot program. Five programming commitment areas viewed as critical to personal growth are part of WVUs model. They are: 1) academic excellence, 2) personal development, 3) career development, 4) athletic excellence, and 5) community service.

    COMMITMENT TO ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE The purpose of this area is to support the academic progress of student-athletes toward intellectual development and timely graduation. Services provided include tutor-ing, academic counseling and advising, mentoring, freshman orientation classes (Sport and Exercise Studies 170) and structured study sessions.

    COMMITMENT TO ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE The purpose of this area is to oer athletic programs that are broad-based, equitable and dedicated to the well-being of the student-athlete. Overall, WVU Intercollegiate Ath-letics supports and encourages a broad program of sports. CHAMPS Life Skills acts as a performance psychology professional resource for the coaching and support sta of the athletic programs. COMMITMENT TO PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT The purpose of this area is to support the development of a well-balanced lifestyle for student-athletes, encouraging and supporting emotional well-being, personal growth and decision making skills. CHAMPS/Life Skills services provided include personal coun-seling, health presentations, improving communication skills and presentations on so-cial development and scal responsibility. A satellite oce of the WVU Carruth Center for Counseling and Psychological Services and Well WVU is located in the Coliseum to support this commitment area.

    COMMITMENT TO SERVICE The purpose of this component is to engage interested student-athletes in service to his or her campus and surrounding communities. Activities for student-athletes include peer education, guest speaking at campus and community events and mentoring local children.

    COMMITMENT TO CAREER DEVELOPMENT The purpose of this area is to encourage student-athletes to develop and pursue career and life goals in a timely manner. The CHAMPS/Life Skills program fullls this purpose by oering career development presentations, sport career retirement pro-grams, transitions from college class in the spring semester (SEP 493), and by working in conjunction with the WVU Carruth Center and the WVU Career Services Center on identifying an individuals interests, career goals, crafting resumes and facilitating job search process. For more information, see WVU intercollegiate athletics psychologist Dr. Ed Etzel in Room 275a in the Coliseum at (304) 293-7062, visit graduate assistant Michelle McAlarnen in Room 288 in the Coliseum or online at http://www.msnsportsnet.com/page.cfm?section=12102
