Christian Academy of Indiana (CAI) is excited to announce that it will host its first ever student-athlete “Mental Toughness” seminar this Saturday, January 31, at 10 a.m. in the Auditorium. All Christian Academy of Indiana and Christian Academy of Louisville – English Station High School students, their families and friends are invited to attend.

Dr. Kevin Chapman, renowned sports psychologist, will be speaking to our student-athletes and families. For nearly a decade, Dr. Chapman served as one of the performance team psychologists at the University of Louisville in the Department of Athletics where he regularly assisted student-athletes on an individual and team basis. Dr. Chapman received his Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Centre College in 2000, Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Eastern Kentucky University in 2002 and his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Louisville in 2006.  Dr. Chapman is originally from Louisville, Kentucky and is a former collegiate two-sport athlete in track and field and football

Dr. Chapman is a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice where he specializes in the assessment and treatment of anxiety and related disorders (social anxiety, panic, agoraphobia, worry, OCD, phobias). Dr. Chapman is a regular contributor to the media and has appeared on Nickelodeon, The Charla Young Show, KET, various radio/podcasts and has consulted on another well-known network. Dr. Chapman serves as a sports performance consultant where he assists athletes with performance enhancement, “mental toughness,” and focus during competition. A contributor to many publications, including Men’s Health, Men’s Health UK and Men’s Fitness, we are excited and honored to have Dr. Chapman speaking to our student-athletes.

The seminar will be free to all Christian Academy students, families and friends. It will begin at 10 a.m. and end at 12 p.m.

I cannot stress the importance of mental toughness and preparation. For all the athletic success we have had over the last few years, the element of “mental toughness’ is one element that will help propel us to the next level. We are thankful to have Dr. Chapman join the journey with us.

See you Saturday!

CONGRATULATIONS to our Lady Warrior Volleyball team as they are semi-state champions and have earned the right to play for the state championship this coming Saturday, November 8, at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. Following is some pertinent information you will need to know:

• Tickets for the state championship game will be on sale in the athletic office on Wednesday, November 5, from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. Tickets are $10. We only have 200 tickets, so it is first come first served. If you do not buy a ticket now, you will have to buy one at Ball State the day of the game.
• There will be two fan buses leaving Saturday morning at 7 a.m. sharp from CAI. This is limited to the first 70 people to register. When you buy a ticket Wednesday, you can register for the fan bus at that time. You have to buy a ticket to get a seat on the fan bus. Once you sign up, you will receive a permission slip that you will need Saturday morning or you will not be permitted on the bus.

I encourage all our fans and families to be here at school Friday morning as we will attempt to “line the drive” and show our support for the Lady Warriors. We want fans, families and friends lining Academy Drive with signs, posters, etc… as the girls leave. My assistants will be there with instruction Friday morning. Bring your own signs, posters, air horns, etc…
• A big “THANK YOU” to Insulated Roofing Contractors who will be sponsoring fan towels for everyone who comes to the game Saturday. It will be a blue out (WEAR BLUE), and everyone will receive a #STATEBOUND rally towel at the game.

This a momentous event for our school and community. CAI is very proud of all our student-athletes and the families and communities we represent. It is crucial that we get behind our ladies and encourage them as they attempt to do something that has never been done in the history of our school. No matter the outcome, we hold true to our motto, “running for the incorruptible prize” as we strive to reach our goal with the love and message of Christ Jesus. We hope to see everyone on Saturday.
