Episode 15: Student-Athletes (Part 1)

Welcome back to the podcast! It's been a little while, but hopefully we're back on track and there are a few great episodes lined up for the next few months.

In this episode, as well as the next, I am speaking with six young people who are at the top of their game in their chosen sport(s). How do they juggle their commitments, knowing what riches (literally in some cases) reaching the ultimate goal may potentially bring? The MYP emphasizes the development of the learner profile traits, such as being balanced and reflective. How are these traits reflected in the daily lives of dedicated, focused, high-achieving student-athletes? We explore these and other questions over the next two episodes, whilst learning more about what makes these individuals 'tick' - as well as incorporating some research findings in Episode 16.

Enjoy!
