NCAA Career in Sports Forum Information
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (EMUEagles.com) – Eastern Michigan University women's gymnastics senior Catie Conrad (Brighton, Mich. - Brighton) was selected to attend the 2017 NCAA Career in Sports Forum, held in Indianapolis, Ind., June 1-4, at the NCAA national office.
Conrad, a senior currently studying business management, had another strong year for the Eagles. The two-time Second Team All-Mid-American Conference honoree was once again named to the MAC All-Tournament Team after tying for first on bars and also tying her career-best in the all-around with a 39.350 at the 2017 conference championships. Throughout the season, Conrad was named MAC Gymnast of the Week twice, in addition to reeling in Academic All-MAC and Distinguished Scholar Athlete honors for her success in the classroom.
The Career in Sports Forum is an annual educational gathering held by the NCAA, which brings together roughly 200 student-athletes to learn about and explore potential careers in sports, primarily focusing on college athletics. The four-day forum is designed to assist student-athletes in figuring out their career paths, while also providing an opportunity to network and learn from current athletics professionals.
Topics that are scheduled to be discussed by industry experts include: how personal values intersect with career opportunities, how behavioral styles impact individual effectiveness, the key professional and career development information to assist with transition from a student-athlete to a professional, and the role of the college coach or athletics administrator.
In order to attend the event, junior or senior student-athletes need to be nominated by athletics administrators from their respective universities. Nominated student-athletes are required to have been athletically eligible, as well as participated, in an NCAA-sponsored sport during the current academic year. However, eligible student-athletes who will have graduated before the forum dates are also eligible to participate.
