Overview of the Year

Tia Nayar, a volleyball athlete, completed the Independent Study Mentorship program during her senior year. She studied physical therapy under the mentorship of Lance Walker at the Michael Johnson Performance Center. During her mentorship she was given the opportunity to sit in on dry needling and cupping certification programs, work as a PT technician, and help with the 2015 NFL combine class. "It has been incredible working with all different types of athletes. From olympians to younger athletes, there was never a dull moment,” Tia remembered. Tia Nayar had a truly unforgettable year in the ISM program. Her only regret is not taking ISM her junior year so she could participate two years in this amazing program.
