Athlete Representatives
Athlete Leaders have limitless opportunities to provide the perspective and opinions of athletes as an Athlete Representative. Athletes serving in these roles are integral members of boards, committees, and Athlete Leadership Councils. They help set policy, make recommendations for continuous improvement, introduce new ideas, and contribute to programming.
