“Upon learning about sport psychology and student-services, I knew that I wanted to work with top level student-athletes to help them achieve their goals,” said Downey
The Altoona, PA native chose West Virginia University for his doctorate degree in sport and exercise psychology.
“The WVU sport and exercise psychology graduate program provided tremendous practical experiences to work with individual student-athletes, teams and coaches. To say the program offers hands-on experiences would be an understatement,” Downey added.
