Creative Juices are Flowing

Met with Dana and shared ideas on potentially having temperature checks with student athletes. Essentially there would be three meeting times with the student athlete retention committee (Dana or I) One meeting time would be at the beginning of the year to monitor what the goals and aspirations are for the year. I discussed that it is really important that the athletes come in with realistic athletic and academic goals. Similar to FYS create a 4 year plan that includes athletics and academics. The second meeting would be middle semester of the first semester to monitor if the student athlete is having any issues academic or any issues athletics. (Is the student athlete not getting enough playing time, not getting along with coaches, roommates, potential of failing a class, switching majors. Many problems that students transfer to could be addressed and potentially make changes necessary to keep athletes happy, eligible, and returning to Tiffin University. The end of the semester could serve as evaluating goals as well as creating new goals and expectations it is also a chance to make sure the student is returning to campus.
