HOWARD, Wis. (WBAY) - The Howard-Suamico community welcomed back a familiar face Tuesday.
NFL fullback Alec Ingold hosted a “Money Mini Camp” for students at Bay Port High School.
Inside the home of the Pirates, Ingold gave advice and answered questions from students about managing finances and career planning.
The goal of the Money Mini Camp is to change the students’ perspectives, looking at finance not as a stressor but a resource.
Three types of change
---------------------
Ingold said he hopes students take away the most important lesson.
“We talked about 3 different types of change today. External change. Life situations. Internal change. When you need to grow or develop or adapt. And then some spare change. Putting change in your pockets. So being able to blend all three of those and kind of have a goal alongside all three of those pieces of change that are going to happen in life, was probably the biggest thing,” Ingold said.
Dozens of students attended the mini camp.
“They’re fun. They were locked in today. It was a good crew. It’s always good to get them riled up and always figuring out what questions they have. What they’re interested in. What’s hitting, what’s not. So that you’re able to kind of further the q and a sessions and really hone in on what they need to hear, how they need to hear it. And the group was really involved today which was awesome,” Ingold said.
When the lessons wrapped up, students were able to take home swag bags that included copies of his book “The 7 Crucibles.”
“It’s cool to see the next generation and just encouraging anybody and everybody to continue to pour back into the community whenever they have a chance,” Ingold said.
