Podcast

The Freshman Foundation Podcast is designed to help student-athletes and parents with the transition from high school to college athletics. Listeners will hear first-hand accounts from athletes, coaches, and mental performance experts.

Recently, the Journal of Applied Sport Psychology published an article making suggestions about how to coach “Generation Z” (those born after 1996) athletes. The authors Gould, Nalepa, and Mignano (2020) specifically identified communication skills as a challenge for many Generation Z athletes, particularly face-to-face communication. Generation Z athletes, not shockingly, communicate best by text messaging.
