Golf is a great sport to learn things like values, camaraderie, etiquette and respect. But it's not just about golf. High school is a time when student-athletes really begin learning about themselves and who they are in the world. In the Harriton Ram Golf Program, we recognize that we are uniquely positioned to have a positive impact in the lives of the student-athletes during their four years at Harriton. As an investment in their time in the Ram Golf Program as well as their lives after Harriton, a staple of the program, the annual leadership seminar, occurs every August. It includes our annual team and individual photoshoot, the leadership seminar, lunch, and a round of golf. The event also kicks off the annual Ram Cup, a season-long intrasquad Ryder-Cup style event. The following are the places and people we have been blessed to meet and learn from...

"Don't get constrained by what's possible, but master the art of the impossible. Don't try and make an old model better, make old models obsolete by creating a new model in whatever it is you're doing. Learn from mistakes. Nobody can tell you what to do with a mistake. Change the world around you by creating a new path, not following an old path. A great team is comprised of people where everybody feels valuable and is a part of what is happening. Have fun. A great leader has to be a great follower. A great leader has to cast vision where everybody understands and is on board."
Dr. Steven Klasko (2016)
