Bowling team practices team unity through volunteering
Cortez Schenck and teammates package food boxes at the Kansas Food Bank. The boxes include shelf-stable healthy food options.Head Bowling Coach Gordon Vadakin knows a thing or two about coaching bowling at Wichita State — 40 years of knowledge to be exact.
In his time at Wichita State, Vadakin has found a way to help his team establish relationships and work on their teamwork without even being at the lanes — volunteering in the community.
Vadakin said volunteering is one of the purest forms of coming together as a team.
“It’s a feeling that we’re making a difference and helping somebody. The team has fun and they’re collaborating,” Vadakin said.
