This is our final episode of the first season of “Let’s Talk About It.” It’s been a journey that we’re honored to have shared with you. In this episode, we’re looking at the unique experience of student-athletes. How do they deal with the pressure and publicity that comes along with the student-athlete experience? How do they foster both the athletic part of themselves but also everything about them that isn’t their sport? Here to break this down with us are:
- Mike Ross, assistant professor in the Department of Sport Management and coordinator of the E-Learning program
- Sarah Mathews, director of compliance for the WSU athletics department
- Rachel Johnson, junior in sport management major and former WSU basketball player.
Stay tuned for Season 2 coming in August 2021.
