Motivating Cadets to reach New Heights!

Help me give my students MOTIVATION while exercising! These items will give us the ability to challenge our Junior ROTC Cadets during periods of physical exercise to dig down deep and explode with power and energy!

My Project

Imagine: You are a high school cadet in Junior ROTC, and it's early in the morning (like, around 9 am). That crazy retired Army instructor has you outside with the rest of the class for physical training. You line up for a 1 mile run. With the blast of an air horn, you take off grudgingly. All of a sudden, music comes through the speaker system and the Master Sergeant yells encouragement through a megaphone, calling each student by name. The music is thumping, and the specific encouragement takes your thoughts away from your legs and lungs. All of a sudden, the 1 mile is complete, and the stop watch shows that you ran in your best time ever! Personal Record!

Communication is Key!

These items will help us reach out to our young cadets and provide necessary support and encouragement. The speaker system can not only run off of "shore power" (plugged into the wall), but has a rechargeable battery AND a 12v plug which allows recharging from a truck while "in the field" away from civilization.

Your generosity can help us turn tedious exercise into creative challenges. Thank you in advance!
