Launching the Imprescia中心 for Female Sports 领导

中央天主教高中 is excited to launch the Imprescia中心 for Female Sports 领导 – an exciting new initiative to encourage strong, powerful women through athletics.

The Center was established in collaboration with CCHS Raider alumna 夫人. 奥利维亚(2014年印象派)汉堡, an alumna scholar and student-athlete at Central Catholic who has made a generous investment to establish a program to help uplift other female student-athletes.

"When I found myself in a position to give back, my mind went right to Central Catholic,奥利维亚说。.

在中环时, I was involved as a student-athlete and in Campus Ministry, and I attribute where I am now to my CCHS experience. It changed my life and if I hadn’t attended Central, I am not sure where I would be today."

The goal of the Imprescia中心 for Female Sports 领导 is based on three pillars: 

家庭(网络 & 指导)

Strive to build a community that offers networking and mentoring opportunities. Participants will form bonds and relationships that will be personally and professionally rewarding as they move through life and build upon the Raider legacy of success, 服务, 和卓越.

领导(开发 & 授权)

Strive to build confidence and leadership skills within our female students and student-athletes. Seminars and workshops will empower students to succeed personally and to make an impact on the world while embracing the 3月ist ideals of humility, 善良, 和完整性.

公平(公平的竞争环境)

Strive to provide equal opportunities for our female-student athletes and put them in a situation to compete and excel on a level playing field. Guided by a sense of fair play and equity, we will reinforce the self-worth and significant potential of each student by recognizing their efforts and providing the resources they need to succeed.

“通过这项倡议, I hope to make the experience for female student-athletes even better than my own experience,奥利维亚说。. "I was fortunate to have great coaches at CCHS and I want to help current female student-athletes become great leaders, have the ability to focus on mental and physical health, 成为最好的队友, and best leaders and employees in the future.”

An additional program through the Imprescia中心 is the "SHE WILL" Fund, which through a series of workshops, 研讨会及联谊活动, will help provide CCHS female student-athletes the qualities and skills needed to succeed in sport and life as they develop into strong, 女性领导人.

The Fund has already brought a special presentation to campus focusing on life coaching approaches for female student-athletes.

The Center also aims to support a more active young alumni connection, where current female-athletes can interact with those who have recently gone on to be successful in a variety of sports and professional fields.

“我们非常感谢奥利维亚, who has lent her generous support to help Central Catholic launch the Imprescia中心 for Female Sports 领导,” Christopher Sullivan '81, CCHS President.

"This Center isn't just about breaking barriers; it's about shattering ceilings, 粉碎的刻板印象, and amplifying the voices of our female athletes and leaders. The goal of this initiative is to empower, 激励, and pave the way for a future where every female knows she belongs on the field, 在会议室里, 掌握着自己的命运."
