Students face a
variety levels of stress induced by everything from academic responsibilities
to peer relationships. Athletics can provide a welcomed diversion
from these pressures as studies show that exercise is one of the best
cures. However conversely sometimes playing sports can actually add to
the stress level when unhealthy expectations overwhelm the student. The
athletic department in conjunction with the counseling office has formed a
group to help off support to student athletes handle the psychology of
sports.
The next meeting
of this group is this Friday at 10:20am in the courtyard café. Breakfast
will be served. Students who would like to attend are asked to please
