The SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) in Athletics Committee focuses on integrating SEL principles into athletic programs to support the holistic development of student-athletes. Drawing from the themes of Remodeling Sports to Transform Lives by Get Psyched Sports, the committee aims to create a positive, inclusive environment where athletes learn to manage emotions, build relationships, and make responsible decisions. This initiative emphasizes the role of coaches in fostering a growth mindset, promoting resilience, and teaching life skills that extend beyond sports, ultimately empowering athletes to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
