Research Tools for Student Athletes

Things to Remember About Research

  • Research involves trial and error, and above all persistence.
  • First attempts at research don’t always work perfectly.
  • Finding the right strategies and using the right tools are key to success.
  • Research is a skill that is developed over time with practice.
  • Like a coach, experts are available to help you improve your skills, encourage you, and steer you in the right direction.
