Elizabeth A. Gregg; Matthew Ohlson; Ana Roman Dominguez; Sydnie Steele
Sport Management Education Journal, v19 n1 p59-61 2025
Student-athletes face a variety of stressors and are at risk for mental health issues, particularly with "name, image, and likeness" issues creating new pressures and distractions. This article outlines a leadership development program geared toward student-athletes and the enrichment of their mental health. The cocurricular content described within includes self-development material delivered by faculty in a team context. Early findings indicate that the Positive Leadership Program appears to make impactful improvements in mental health outcomes and can be introduced into sport management curricula.
