SOUTHPORT, NORTH CAROLINA, UNITED STATES, April 13, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Bob Reasso, is proud to announce that he has recently been featured in an exclusive interview for Kivo Daily. In the interview, Mr. Reasso described what he has learned as a college athletics director and coach and highlighted how important it is for student-athletes to achieve academic milestones.With over 30 years of experience, Bob Reasso has set himself apart as an esteemed college athletics director and coach. He currently acts as the executive director and head soccer coach at Combine Rush Soccer Academy.
In his interview, Bob Reasso stresses that student-athletes are under a large amount of pressure to dedicate adequate time to both their studies and athletic activities.
"The overall public perception of student-athletes is somewhat ignorant to the amount of pressure that is on athletes to excel in both their academic and athletic lives." says Bob Reasso.
"It isn't a pressure to simply manage both their studies and their athletics, either; it is a pressure to perform exceptionally at both, and the mental health issues that go along with that pressure is where the problem lies."
Bob Reasso also says there is a lack of support for student-athletes and that educational institutions should ensure that student-athletes are set up to succeed both academically and athletically. Their schools need to help them learn how to deal with the pressure that comes with playing sports in college at a very high level.
He also explains what it means to have the responsibility as a coach to ensure academic success among athletes.
"As a coach, you need to focus on building a culture of success off the field to build it on the field," says Bob Reasso.
"I look at my players to see what they can do and achieve. I work to get them to excel and accentuate their positive qualities. I try to focus on what they can do rather than what they can't."
