OUTSIDE THE ARENA

Student-Athletes often struggle with issues which do not directly relate to his/her athletic performance, but which have the potential to totally derail an athletic career.    If these issues are not addressed in a timely fashion there is considerable risk of long-term emotional and/or physical harm.  Learning to overcome these issues not only benefits the athlete's athletic career, but is an invaluable life lesson.  These are problems which cannot be swept under the rug or otherwise avoided even if it means interrupting or ending an athletic career.  As I often tell my clients who are dealing with one of these "Outside the Arena" issues, "Either you deal with it or it will deal with you."
