 Rising Above: Steidy Samson’s Journey with the SBPP Eagles,

In the heart of the University of Papua New Guinea, the School of Business and Public Policy (SBPP) is not just a place of academic learning; it’s a thriving community where leadership, teamwork, and ambition come together. At the forefront of this dynamic environment is Steidy Samson, a dedicated student who has made a significant impact as the captain of the SBPP Eagles basketball team over the past two years.

 

Reflecting on his journey, Steidy expresses immense gratitude for the trust placed in him by the school’s administration and his peers. “Leading the SBPP Eagles has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life,” he shares. “I’ve learned invaluable lessons and built strong relationships with students from all disciplines.”

 

Steidy takes pride in representing his school every time he dons the Eagles’ jersey. “Each match day, I give my all, knowing that our supporters are behind us, cheering us on,” he says. His leadership extended beyond the court, as he took the initiative to mentor younger players, helping them develop their skills and confidence.

 

One of Steidy's proudest achievements is establishing the SBPP Eagles Basketball Club in 2023. The name reflects the school’s commitment to excellence and the hard work of its administration in striving to stand out among Papua New Guinea’s premier universities. “We adopted an eagle-like mindset—aiming high and soaring above challenges,” he explains.

 

In their inaugural year, the Eagles made a splash, reaching the Grand Finals in two major competitions. Although they faced setbacks, including a narrow loss to the SOL City Counsels in the Battle of the Schools Competition, they also celebrated a triumphant victory in the Unity Sports Basketball Grand Finals. This year, they again faced tough competition, going up against the PM Lakers from Pacific Adventist University in another hard-fought Grand Finals match.

 

Through these experiences, Steidy has gained not only valuable lessons in leadership and teamwork but also cherished memories that will stay with him long after he graduates. “These moments have shaped my university life,” he reflects, “and I am incredibly thankful for the support of my parents, siblings, teammates, friends, and everyone in the SBPP community.”

                                               

As he prepares to pass the baton to the next generation of Eagles, Steidy remains optimistic about the future. “I hope to see more young talents emerge and for the Eagles to continue to soar higher,” he states.

 

In closing, Steidy leaves us with a mantra that encapsulates his approach to life and leadership: “It’s nothing personal; it’s just business. After all, it’s just a 'Man in Business doing some BUSINESS.'”

 

Steidy Samson’s journey serves as an inspiring reminder of the power of leadership, community, and perseverance, leaving a legacy at the School of Business and Public Policy.
