Â
Student-athletes in every sport will be evaluated and nominated on a monthly basis. The voting process for these awards will be handled by the Pack Performance Team, which is an interdisciplinary team that works collaboratively with coaches and student-athletes to help maximize performance and meet their goals. The team, led by NC State's Senior Associate AD for Sports Administration & Student Services Raymond Harrison, consists of professionals from the following disciplines: Strength & Conditioning, Sports Medicine, Academics, Sports Nutrition, Sport Psychology, and Student-Athlete Enhancement and Leadership.
Â
"As an athletics department, we have defined and measurable goals each year," Director of Athletics Deborah Yow said. "Whether or not we meet these goals is based on team performance, both academically and athletically."
Â
"Our student-athletes are the heart of our athletics department. They bring life, excitement, and energy to the Wolfpack and it is only fitting that we create an award which acknowledges their commitment to the TEAM on an everyday basis."
Â
The first winners of this monthly award will be announced on Monday, Oct. 2.
