JACKSON, Miss. – Former Millsaps volleyball player and assistant coach Raven Scott from Strive provided leadership training to Millsaps freshman student-athletes this past week.

"Raven was the perfect fit to help launch our first year of leadership programming for the Major difference". Said head volleyball coach Jaime Fisher, "Being an alum, Raven is still closely tied to Millsaps and the athletics department. Her experience as an athlete here, combined with the training she has received as a leadership specialist is the perfect combination. She is able to speak from experience, has passion for her work and great loyalty to her alma mater. Not to mention she is just an all around incredible person and charismatic speaker!" 
 
Developed by Donnie Brooks, Director of Athletics at Millsaps, the Major Difference initiative seeks to motivate student-athletes to achieve excellence in every aspect of their lives; athletic, academic and personal development. This "all-in" approach will redefine what it means to be a student-athlete and promote a first-class experience that elite athletes want to be a part of.
