TLC From The TLC: Student-Athlete Concerns?

November 3, 2017

UP is a relatively small NCAA Division I school, meaning that we have a proportionately large population of student-athletes: as such, most faculty and academic staff have athletes in our classes at some point. Do those students bring any particular needs or assets when it comes to thinking about mental health? In another installment of his Teaching and Learning Collaborative blog series on student mental  health, Andrew Guest writes about some of the particular mental health concerns facing student-athletes in contemporary American colleges.
