The "Un-Internship" Revolution: Why the CKA VIP is the Future of Student-Athlete Leadership ckasaveproject.org/blog/the-un-in…

Huge congrats to our very own CKA VIP, Sydney Seabrooks, for being named to the 2026 All-ACC Gymnastics Team! Sydney has been lights-out for @uncgymnastics this year, ranking 9th in the NCAA on Floor and putting up one of the highest All-Around scores in Tar Heel history. But at CKA, we know her as more than just an elite athlete. She’s a future health professional, a dedicated intern, and a leader who is helping us empower underserved communities through the CKA SAVE Project. We love seeing our interns CRUSH it in their sport while building their legacies off the floor. Keep soaring, Sydney! #CKASAVE #UNC #TarHeels #AllACC #Gymnastics #CKAVIP #AthleteLife #Empowerment

I remember the ritual: my brother Rick and I waiting our turn to dive into the Washington Post sports section. Later, as a coach, seeing my players mentioned in those pages was the ultimate honor. With the news that the Post is eliminating its sports department, that "sacred ritual" is officially a memory. But the need for high-quality, authentic sports journalism hasn't disappeared—it’s just moved. At the CKA SAVE Project, we choose to live. We’ve spent 30 years in the trenches of education and athletics. Now, through our OCP Global Access Initiative, we’re taking that experience national. We aren't here for clicks or manufactured outrage. We’re here to provide a year-round masterclass in leadership. The world is evolving, and we’re leading the way. Join the conversation.
