KENNETH
WATERBURY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DALLAS has been
selected the SCAC Character & Community Male
Student-Athlete-of-the-Week for the week ending November 25,
2012.
Waterbury, a sophomore defender on
the Crusaders' men's soccer team who hails from Glendale,
Ariz., appeared in 11 games for head coach David
Hoffmann during the 2012 season.
Away from the pitch, Waterbury has been
teaching Kindergarten and 1st grade Sunday school every weekend at
his local church.
"I've been trying to fill the children with as much love and information about Jesus Christ as possible," says Waterbury. "It has been such a rewarding experience because working with them has shown me what it looks like to have a complete child like faith.
In addition to teaching Sunday
school, Waterbury has been involved in a
mentorship program that partners Christian leaders with
underprivileged kids in South Dallas. The mentorship program
helps to motivate kids to finish high school and to go forward
from that point into a career, and, in the process, creates a
lasting friendship and relationship from elementary school through
high school between the Christian leaders and the less-priviledged
kids that the program services.
Waterbury has also made an impact in the community through his soccer knowledge and abilities.
"I've been able to help train and coach youth soccer players and teams at both the competitive and the recreational level," says Waterbury. "The experience has been great because it has allowed me to use my ability as a soccer player to give back to other kids who have similar goals that I had when I was the same age."
