BELMONT ATHLETICS -- LIFE SKILLS PROGRAM

 

What is Life Skills?

Through the Life Skills program, Belmont University strives to help student-athletes to become well-rounded and successful. We not only want to prepare our student-athletes to be successful while they are attending Belmont, but also for life beyond graduation.


Life Skills Overview

The mission of the NCAA is to maintain intercollegiate athletics as an integral part of the campus educational program and the student-athlete as an integral part of the student body. With this in mind, the Life Skills Program was created to support the student-athlete development initiatives of NCAA member institutions and to enhance the quality of the student-athlete experience within the context of higher education.
