St. Lawrence University Athletics today announced the launch of a reimagined SHIELD Wellness & Performance webpage on SaintsAthletics.com, giving Saints student-athletes, families and fans a central home for resources that support health and success in competition and in life.
The new section is available HERE.
It brings together information on strength and conditioning, sports medicine, nutrition, mental health and wellness, and academic support. Content is organized so student-athletes can quickly find the services available to them on campus and the staff who provide them.
"SHIELD Wellness & Performance continues to evolve as we look at new and meaningful ways to support the holistic student-athlete experience at St. Lawrence," said St. Lawrence University Director of Athletics Franco Bari. "Our commitment goes beyond physical preparation and competition. We are enhancing our focus on mental performance, academic success, career development, wellbeing while also creating more opportunities for our captains and leaders and building stronger bridges with our campus partners so that our student-athletes have access to the full range of resources available across the University.
"We are also leveraging technology, including the Teamworks app, to make these resources and programming more accessible to our student-athletes," Bari continued. "SHIELD reflects our commitment to developing confident, resilient and well-rounded Saints who are prepared to excel in competition, in the classroom and beyond."
The page highlights campus partners and staff, such as sports medicine, strength and conditioning, mental health counseling and will be updated as SHIELD organizes events promoting the holistic overall development of St. Lawrence student-athletes. Prospective student-athletes and their families can also use the section to learn how St. Lawrence supports its 37 varsity programs.
SHIELD Wellness & Performance is the primary Student-Athlete Development Program at St. Lawrence University, established to enrich personal growth and support the pursuit of athletic excellence. St. Lawrence Athletics is committed to providing these resources and programming to enhance the holistic experience of every Saint, ensuring they gain valuable life skills long after graduation.
The peak performance and wellness section joins the full range of content on SaintsAthletics.com, the official home of St. Lawrence Athletics, including schedules, results, rosters, news and live streaming.
