"Student-athl etes face unique challenges and time demands . Our academic support center is designed to be proactive in helping them achieve their goals and maintain a high standard of academic achi evement. " - Sara Hickmann , Coordinator of Ath letic Academic Support

USD Academic Support

Sara Hickmann enters her second year as Co– ordinatorofAthletic Academic Support at the University of San Diego. The USO Ath letic Academic Support Program is designed to assist and motivate student-ath letes in their journey and progress towards their academic goa ls, and ultimately graduation. The primary objective is to im– prove the student-athletes ' study skills, support them in their academic work , and encourage scholastic achieve– ment. It is essential that student-athl etes receive the necessary academic assistance to continue normal progress toward a degree while participating in athletics. USO student-athletes receive assistance through advising, progress reports , academic tutors, campus learning centers, such as the Logic, Math, and Writing Centers, and the Accelerated Study Program. The Accelerated Study Program provides a monitored, quiet area open only to the student-ath letes to ensure quality study time. These services are avai lab le to all USO student-ath Ietes. The USO strength and conditioning pro– gram is under the direction of Steve Brown who is in his fo urth year. It has been designed to develop functional strength, speed, power and endurance. The development of these physical attributes is useless to the athletes unless it can be carried onto the playing field . Therefore, adhering to a properly designed program ofstrength training, condition ing and nutrition can enab le our men and women to become the best possible athl etes they can be, while simultaneously reducing the incidence of injury. USO student-athl etes receive intensive in– struction on proper weight training technique; speed, power and agi lity development; and sport-specific conditioning. Their strength and conditioning pro– grams are specific to the nature of their sport or position. Each athlete is individually monitored throughout their program to ensure the greatest chance of athl etic progress. Steve was recently named as the 1998 National Strength and Conditioning Association Pro– fessiona l of the Year for the West Coast Confer– ence.
