Sachem East sophomore Sean Hogan recently represented his school and Section XI at the NYSPHSAA Student Leadership Conference in Albany. The event kicked off with fun ice-breaker activities and a chance to meet nearly 200 student-athletes.
The conference featured a keynote from Molly Kennedy, who shared insights on leadership, emphasizing consistency, integrity and mental resilience. Breakout sessions covered topics like communication, confidence and leading by example.
One major takeaway was the idea of creating Student-Athlete Leadership Committees to foster leadership and raise awareness about student-athlete mental health. Hogan is excited to apply these lessons at Sachem East and grateful for the opportunity to represent his school.
