Turning athletics into academic success
Playing college athletics takes more than just a love of sports. To be successful at that level takes years of dedication, focus, and a good deal of talent.
Tune into Native America Calling to hear from Native athletes turning athletics into a pathway to academics at Division 1 colleges about how to recognize and develop their own skills, lessons they learned along the way, and how to deal with setbacks.
