"We talk about all of the factors impacting our student-athlete's world today but we often don't discuss the aspect of being a part of something bigger than yourself having an impact. That aspect of their life is incredibly powerful for them." - Michael Cross

Honored to participate in the inaugural @EmpowerSummit exploring student-athlete issues hosted by @BU_Bearcats. Great to meet staff & coaches from a variety of NCAA schools across all 3 divisions. These are universal issues that require everyone’s ideas. #EmpowerSummit18
"Create an environment that welcomes feedback from your student-athletes and coaches. This doesn't mean just asking for feedback but being open to the feedback you get and eliciting that feedback in a number of different ways." - Miriam Merrill

.@binghamtonu is holding a summit for student athletes, coaches, and administrators on the challenges surrounding college athletics. The presentation going on right now is giving advice on communication with student athletes.
"We teach our student- athlete leaders that they need to confront their peers about the issue at hand. Nothing will improve if you just leave the issue alone. We don't tell them to be controversial but that they do need to address the issue." - @CoachBowers1#EmpowerSummit2018
