Nancy's Life Skills class has been very beneficial and impacting for the student-athlete's at Ball State University. Nancy provides real life lessons acquired from her many years of working with young adults in a variety of counseling settings. Additionally, many of the skills and techniques can be used with younger teens to help them cope with the myriad of issues confronted by young adults on a daily basis. Nancy is very passionate about the life skills that all young adults and teens need to function with their peers on a daily basis.

The Life Skills component of an education is as important as any that we can teach. It helps our young people deal with real life situations that will allow them to grow as students, athletes and people.
