Jennifer Carter, director of sports psychology at Ohio State University, discusses the role of sports psychologists on college campuses.

Oou 1206 Ab Jennifer Carter joined the Kenyon College women's swim program in the midst of its streak of 17 straight NCAA Division III national championships. She understands pressure, and how to handle it. In fact, coming out of a junior-year "emotional funk" that she views in hindsight as mild depression, Carter garnered the 1994 Honda Award as the Division III Athlete of the Year. Today, Carter, a masters swimmer and triathlete, is in her eighth year as director of sports psychology at Ohio State University, one of only four schools in the country whose athletic departments employ at least one licensed sports psychologist full time (OSU, with its 900 student-athletes and 300 athletics staff members, has two). Paul Steinbach asked Carter to analyze her current role with the Buckeyes.
