Brannon Named Amazing Student By UGA
October 07, 2008 | Football
Drew Brannon, a former student athlete, has been chosen as the "Amazing Student of the Week" by UGA.
Drew helps athletes perform. A former student athlete, he's not the kind of coach you'd find on the sidelines. A lot of his work is done before players hit the field...or track...or court. Brannon is a doctoral student in counseling psychology, and he works with UGA student athletes to help them maximize their potential. Working with the UGA Athletic Association, he has counseled student athletes through struggles ranging from anxiety and depression to sport-specific issues.
His doctoral research is in the area of sport motivation, particularly looking at how personality traits and contextual variables affect well-being and motivation. After graduation, Brannon hopes to become a licensed psychologist and continue working with student athletes.
