The transition from high school to college is significant. Our program strives to find a balance between supporting each student athlete's individual needs while allowing them space to create their own collegiate experience.  Each student-athlete is challenged to take ownership of their output and take on the responsibility of being self-advocates. It is important for me to get to know each student-athlete to understand how they work most productively. 

 

The four pillars of our academic success are:

• ACCOUNTABILITY

• RELIABILITY

• TIME MANAGEMENT

• SELF-ADVOCACY

​

A foundation of good habits is built in the early stages of the process of growing their independence throughout their college experience. 

 

The process:

• Student-athletes are expected to build relationships with their faculty/staff members and work one-on-one with them to navigate each course.

• Instructors, deans, faculty advisers and other designated campus personnel are the primary resources for the student-athletes. 

•  The coaching staff is there to support each course syllabus and reinforce the expectations set by each instructor.

• Study tables are mandatory both at home and on the road for student-athletes new to the program (freshmen and transfers) and student-athletes with a cumulative GPA lower than a 3.0.

• Random grade checks for student-athletes deemed at-risk.
