\"Dan<\/a>In an ESPN.com commentary, Dan Doyle ’72, an authority on sports in America and internationally, encourages youth coaches to go beyond teaching just “textbook knowledge” of sports and become mentors with a “commitment to imparting valuable life lessons.” Among several points in his commentary, <\/a>Doyle says coaches should encourage their student-athletes to be complete school citizens. Like the character Finn Hudson and the cheerleaders on Glee<\/em>, Doyle says, “athletes in school are highly visible, but they should not allow themselves to be seen as a clannish, elite group who are excused from special assemblies, car-wash fundraisers and other kinds of schoolwide activities. Rather, coaches should channel athletes’ high visibility, their prominence, into pursuits like peer tutoring or helping set up for the science fair.” A former Bates Trustee, Doyle is the founder and executive director of the Institute for International Sport<\/a> and helped to establish the Bates Scholar-Athlete Society<\/a> in 2005.
