Lindsey Wilson to host panel on Educational Value of Sport By Duane Bonifer The educational benefits and professional value of competitive sports in higher education will be the topic of an upcoming panel at Lindsey Wilson University. Four national scholars on the topic will discuss "The Educational Value of Sport" at 3pmCT on Monday, November 10, 2025, in the Norma and Glen Hodge Center for Discipleship. The event, which is free and open to the public, will be moderated by Lindsey Wilson Assistant Vice President for Student Success Eric Carter. The panel will feature:
"The panelists will discuss the growing movement to create a sport performance major on the undergraduate level," said Carter, who is a member of the Sport Major Collective. "Grounded in theories of integrative learning, embodied pedagogy, ethical reasoning, intercultural competence and teamwork, this major provides students a structured academic framework in which student-athletes critically reflect on their practice, training, rehabilitation and competition." Carter said that the sport performance major is similar to undergraduate majors in the fine and performing arts. "My hope is that people come away from this panel thinking about competitive sport as an interdisciplinary major that is grounded in the liberal arts similar to the way that dance, theater or music are grounded in the liberal arts experience," he said. The sport performance major strikes a balance of classroom instruction, supervised athletic engagement and applied reflection to create a "transformative learning environment that supports Lindsey Wilson's mission of educating the whole student," said Carter. Another benefit of the sport performance major is its focus on cultivating highly marketable professional skills such as analytical reasoning, leadership, communication, data literacy and problem-solving. "All of those skills help prepare a student not only for a career in sport but in other professional fields, such as business and education," said Carter. "As a recent story in Forbes pointed out, 90% of Fortune 500 CEOs played sports in college, which underscores the value of competitive sports in college." This story was posted on 2025-11-04 08:08:31
