Etiquette Matters provides a range of practical seminars and tutorials designed to help university student-athletes -- as well as coaches, administrators and support staff -- develop practical skills that are essential for leadership roles on and off the court. Skills help student-athletes become more competent and at ease in any social setting, including banquets, media interviews and meetings with benefactors. Leadership programs range from half-day seminars for one team emphasizing dining or etiquette skills to multiple-day programs that provide a mix of instructional activities for teams, coaches and individual athletes across the entire athletics program. Seminars and tutorials are designed around the particular needs of each university or team, but all emphasize developing dining, etiquette and communication skills essential for immediate success off the court and future success in the more formal corporate and business world.
