COMPETE
Throughout their 47-month experience, cadets have the opportunity to compete in 30 Division I athletic programs, participate in 16 competitive clubs, and join more than 100 extracurricular activities. They compete internationally, achieve state, regional, and national titles, and capture the admiration of graduates and fans throughout the Nation. Indeed, West Point’s Athletic Teams and Cadet Activities not only elevate the cadet experience but celebrate Army pride at large. The Michie Stadium Preservation Project is a prime example of the innovative and multifaceted initiatives
included within this campaign. This project will reconstruct the East Stands, create a new, upgraded experience for spectators, and consolidate Army Athletics into one centralized area. This modernized and expanded facility will honor and reflect Army pride while preserving this nationally recognized stadium. West Point Ready will ensure that cadets remain ready to compete today and for generations to come.
The foundation of leadership I learned as a cadet not only shaped me as a player and a coach, but also as a son, a brother, a husband, and a father. More than 50 years after graduation, I firmly believe that West Point is the greatest leadership school in the world. As cadets, we were exposed to so many leadership styles. The Corps led the Corps and that peer-to-peer leadership is, I believe, the most effective way for teams to be successful.
