INDIANAPOLIS, IN - Arcadia University men's basketball rising senior Debarrin Norman attended the NCAA Career in Sports Forum at the NCAA Headquarters in Indianapolis from May 28th through May 31st. He is the ninth Arcadia Knight to attend this forum. 
 

 
The forum, hosted by the NCAA, is an annual educational program that brings together 200 selected NCAA student-athletes to learn about and explore potential careers in sports, particularly college athletics. The unique three-day forum helps student-athletes chart their career paths. Participants network with and learn from current athletics professionals.
 

 
"This opportunity was nothing short of a blessing," shared Norman. "I was able to hear from so many profound speakers such as Will Baggett, Charles L, Bailey Jr Speaks, Felicia Martin, and so many more. I was also able to share these moments with my fellow peers and learned so much from them as well. I learned more about what it takes to become a true leader, understanding that purpose trumps passion, and that my life is not a competition, it is a journey. I've had powerful conversations and connections that will last with me throughout my life and I'm very grateful for every single one even if it was a simple hello."
 

 
"We are so proud of Debarrin and to have him represent us at the NCAA career in Sports Forum means a lot," explained Head Men's Basketball Coach Adam Van Zelst. "Watching our student athletes grow into young adults is what coaching is about to us. Debarrin is a special person and we are lucky to have him in our program."
