Note from the Author

Hello readers.  My name is Lauren DiChiara and I am a sophomore student-athlete at Belmont Abbey College.  For the second half of the semester, I am enrolled into a class called Sport Psychology.  In this class, we will be learning about the strategies and techniques used by coaches and sport psychologists to enhance personal growth and maximize performance. More specifically, we will focus on motivation, leadership, social interactions, mental training and program implementation. As a collegiate lacrosse player, I am faced with different aspects of sport psychology daily from my coaches, teammates, trainers, practices, games, etc.  I am excited to inform my readers about the life and insight of college athletics in relation to sport psychology.  Stay tuned.  #5
