For South Carolina Public Radio, I'm Dr. Rénard Harris from the College of Charleston. This is Teachable Moments, a minute of education for students and parents.
Every four years, the Winter Olympics gives us a front-row seat to discipline and focus. And while most of us will never compete on that level, watching elite athletes offers students a valuable lesson in commitment.
Olympic success doesn’t happen overnight. Athletes break big goals into manageable steps, practice with consistency, and learn to recover quickly from setbacks. Approaching schoolwork like training that’s steady, intentional, and open to learning from mistakes can build both confidence and performance.
When kids recognize that practicing for a sport isn’t so different from practicing for school, the classroom can be an exciting place to learn.
For the College of Charleston, I’m Dr. Rénard Harris.
