Owning a heat press will allow me to create motivational items for my student athletes. Using this tool, I can make shirts, bags, caps, etc. to celebrate my athletes and to give them a sense of team and school identity. My students could also use this heat press to create merchandise that could provide a source of funding for student-athletes who cannot afford camps, shoes, etc. Students will be tasked with creating products from design all the way through distribution and sales, which will give them great experiences that will help them in the future. In addition to the economic lessons the students will learn, the heat press projects will provide opportunities for my students to participate in a philanthropic endeavor and to extend kindness and compassion to their teammates and others.
