Personal statement
I am a senior psychology major with a topical minor in sports psychology at the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire. I have been competing in and watching a variety of sports my entire life. This past summer I interned at the St. Paul Children’s Hospital Exercise Medicine Clinic. After completing my internship, I realized my interest is in the impact of sport and exercise on children’s overall health and well-being. I was introduced to the Tucker Center through Chelsea Rodd, and ever since I have been intrigued by the research this great institution has produced. At the moment, I am trying to get as much exposure to the literature related to youth and sports psychology as possible, and I believe the Tucker Center is the perfect place to start. As an intern, I am looking forward to learning first-hand about the many areas of research related to girls and boys in youth sports. I am hoping that the Tucker Center will help me narrow down my research interests for graduate school because at the moment they seem nearly endless.
