My name is Riley Stipe and I am a senior at the University of Michigan. I am majoring in psychology at UofM with the ultimate goal of becoming a clinical psychologist focusing on sport and performance psychology. I am a former professional soccer player who used to live and plan in England. I had the privilege of being exposed to players and coaches who were some of the best at what they did, and I learned many lessons from them that I hope to share in this blog! Although athletes and performers are incredibly diverse and specialized for particular sports and events, I believe we still are more similar than different. It is my hope that some of my own strategies and experiences can help someone else facing a similar struggle.
