October 1 marked the start of UMW’s third annual Ten for Ten Challenge, in which student-athletes give back to support their teams. The primary goal is to teach current Eagles about the athletic department’s booster club, the Eagle Club, and how donors continue to enhance the UMW student-athlete experience. Ten for Ten’s secondary goal is for each student-athlete to contribute $10, as we shoot for 100% participation within each team and pay it forward for the next generation.

This year, the Ten for Ten Spotlight Stories will feature four outstanding members of the Mary Wash community. To read about them, visit www.umweagles.com.

A message from the Director of Athletics, Ken Tyler:

The Eagle Club Golf Tournament is an opportunity to celebrate and support the University of Mary Washington’s tradition of athletic excellence. Whether you’re a scratch golfer, a weekend hacker, or you’ve never picked up a club, your support of this event will make an immediate impact on the success of our student athletes and the quality of our athletic programs. Our goal is to have all athletic programs across all eras represented. The event is more than just an opportunity to get together. We want you to reconnect with old teammates, visit old friends and make new ones, and meet the staff. But we do this with purpose: the golfing will be great, but we gather to support UMW student athletes.

We have a great tradition and great pride because of many present and past who have supported those who wear the navy and gray. Let’s keep it going. I look forward to seeing you show your commitment at the 3rd Annual Eagle Club Golf Tournament. Thank you!

The University of Mary Washington athletic department opened the 2017-18 year by inviting representatives of every varsity and club team back to campus to complete the department’s annual Leadership Academy. The three-day event promotes leadership among team leaders, and promotes bonding among the teams through a shared training.

The participants, using a shared reading of the book Great Teams by Don Yaeger, shared their interpretations of the text, explaining their “Why,” and went through team-building exercises based on the book.

The groups then aided in the development of a department-wide initiative called “The Eagle Way,” examining passion, grit, commitment, and integrity. The groups traveled to Challenge Discovery in Richmond for a physical challenge, and completed the academy with the annual river crossing of the Rappahannock by using the teamwork traits they developed.​ The Academy also completed a service project together, assembling nearly 1,500 back-to-school gifts for Smart Beginnings to distribute to local children entering kindergarten.

“Forty-one of our athletes came into the three-day Academy with little knowledge of the itinerary, moreover the other athletes, yet we challenged them to engage and learn from one another and push themselves outside of their comfort zones,” said UMW Director of Athletic Development Philip Pierce, who directed the event. “We have no doubt that each participant gained the tools and the confidence to be leaders of their peers and make a real difference in the culture of their programs.”
