Bird’s-I-View: The Intricacies of Athletics

In the December edition of the Bird’s-I-View, producer Gavin Broderick and hosts Camberyn Kelley and Maritza Navar-Lopez are joined by this month’s Bird’s-I-View team. The team takes an inside look into some of the inner workings of athletics that you may not think about. WZND’s Andrew Evola begins the show by discussing the injury process for athletes and how athletic trainers assist them during challenging times (2:42-5:16). Then, Carter Gette analyzed the mental health challenges athletes face (6:24-9:50). Later, Rachel Hickey spoke with various experts about body image issues and eating disorders among student athletes (12:11-18:03).

Next, Joey Dwyer focused on the latest administrative changes within Illinois State Athletics (19:29-22:41). Finally, Eric Schweizer breaks down the latest Name, Image, and Likeness legislation and how it affects athletes at the collegiate level (23:23-27:21).
