We interviewed Jonte Grose and Morris Arnold. Both Jonte and Morris are ISU Alumni who played multiple sports. Both of them graduated in 2020 and they are currently attending university in Australia. Both of them embodied the educational-based athletics philosophy and showed what it means to be a student-athlete. They have made tremendous growth as an athlete, but more important as a person.
Not only were they great team players, but they also were supportive of others, kind and respectful to their coaches and they showed great sportsmanship on- and off the court. What makes them so unique is their maturity, kindness and their respect for the Mongolian culture.
Talking to them you can feel how much they appreciate and value the life experiences the International School of Ulaanbaatar gave them.
It was amazing to have them on the podcast.
