GETTING TO THE POINT: (Pilot): Student Athletes Mental Health

This is the pilot episode of Getting to the Point, an affiliate podcast of The Point, the Fitchburg State student newspaper.  

You may think that competing on a college level is exciting -- and it most definitely is. But what are the consequences to competing at this level?  What happens to the athletes on the road to competition?  What are their challenges and what support do student athletes have when it comes to the issue of mental health?

Joining host Zoe Chrisostomides ('26) on GTTP is Spenser Powell, a former student athlete who just happens to play the same sport as Zoe, soccer.

This episode was recorded in April 2023.  It was produced by Toni Magras for the College Newspaper Production course taught by Prof. Wafa Unus.
