Mr. Bob Iannucci
Welcome to Speight Athletics, and thank you for the opportunity to join the
Cougars' staff this year.
Athletics have always been instrumental in my life, starting from early
childhood through college. I earned my BA degree from Bethany College in
WV and then earned my Masters of Education at Lesley College in
Cambridge, Mass. As my career continued, I focused on athletic
administration and earned my certification through the NIAAA, and then I
finished my Administration degree at Barton College. I strongly believe the
life skills learned through athletics are pivotal in the development of our
students.
Participating in athletics enables students to learn many life skills, preparing them
to become positive and integral members of society. Generally, student-athletes are
more confident individuals who are willing to take healthy risks in the classroom,
as well as in other realms of their life. Athletes work more cooperatively with
others leading to a greater level of productivity in the classroom and in other
aspects of their lives. Encouraging our youth to participate in athletics improves
our chances of building the necessary foundation for success not only on the field
or court but also in the classroom and in life.
