Throughout my high school career, I was not only recognized as a student but also as a student-athlete. For my capstone project I designed a platform called ‘Deflection’, where all student athletes can speak about their own experiences and feelings that they are having as they navigate their own journey through being a student athlete. The goal of this platform was to not only increase communication but to also expand education on the topic around sports psychology. The inquiry, research, and reflection aspect of this project connects to the whole idea surrounding learning with collaboration and how sports, although often competitive, can show how the teamwork aspect can be even more beneficial. I got a lot of good feedback and comments from various athletes around the school and I am hoping to keep this platform running after I graduate so a larger community can be built.
