Strategies Journal Cover

 

Across sports, there has been a dramatic shift toward earlier and more frequent specialization, leading to a decrease in multi-sport athletes at the high school level. This article from the September/October issue of Strategies discusses athletic development models that attempt to provide more direction and guidance to the athletic development process. Readers are encouraged to provide feedback on this topic by completing a brief survey linked from page 38 of the article. A panel of experts will utilize reader input to advance the discussion of athletic development in a future issue of Strategies.

As the depths of student struggles with mental health became clear in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last year endorsed schools’ use of the practices. Research has found school-based mindfulness programs can help, especially in low-income communities where students face high levels of stress or trauma.
