INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Last week, Frostburg State Women's Wrestling Assistant Coach Caitlin Cardenas, and Women's Soccer Assistant Coach Torii Zamorski, attended the 2025 Emerging Leaders Seminar hosted by the NCAA Leadership Development Staff.
The three-day event welcomed nearly 200 interns and graduate assistants from NCAA member schools, conferences offices, and affiliate organizations to the national office from Feb. 5-7.
The professional development event, which has been held every year since 2008, provides leadership, educational and transitional programming for selected participants. This year's theme, Lead Like a Superhero: Unleash Your Superpowers, emphasized the importance of participants using their unique abilities and sense of leadership to positively impact the future of college athletics.
Throughout the program, attendees engaged with NCAA staff and industry professionals through breakout sessions, panel discussions and a networking reception. Sessions provided insight into different areas of the industry, such as academics and student-athlete development, business and finance, coaching, and compliance. Other sessions provided tips for personal and professional development and covered topics such as mentorship and relationship management, personal branding and interview best practices. The program also featured a DiSC assessment workshop, in which learners developed an understanding of their personal and professional communication styles.
