Even as Name, Image and Likeness has rapidly grown throughout the NCAA and altered the way players attend school, the student athletes who make up those programs are still students. The University of Wisconsin institutes a support network for them through its holistic wellness program, FORWARD360.
FORWARD360 programming includes typical activities like strength and conditioning, performance nutrition and mental health and sports psychology to help athletes be their best. Athletes can train in UW’s four athletic facilities, eat nutritious food at one of the two Jack Link’s Protein Performance Centers and connect with a sports psychologist.
