JOHN COOPER SEMINAR DEVELOPS LEADERS – John Cooper School alumni Coby and Cory Cotton and their father, Pastor Larry Cotton, kicked off a leadership seminar for juniors and seniors. The Cotton twins, who are recent graduates of Texas A&M University, continue to receive national and international coverage for their “Dude Perfect” basketball tricks and spoke to students about how leadership skills have led to their success.
The Cooper seminar, designed to enrich leadership skills in older students, included motivational speaker Pete Hinojosa, who introduced the key concepts of the full-day session — focus, attitude, self-worth and tendencies. The Cottons, Hinojosa and members of the Cooper faculty and staff led small group sessions throughout the day that focused on these topics. During the lunch break, students joined Coby and Cory to practice basketball trick shooting.
