The Effects of Athlete Goal Orientation on Preferred Coach Leadership Behavior
Jonathan Burg knew he wanted to be a sport psychologist at a young age. Today, he is well on his way.
Burg is a Division I soccer player at UNH and is completing majors in both psychology and sport studies. Through the course of his latest research project, he established professional relationships with scholars in both fields.
Why research? He says initially it was the excitement of the challenge that motivated him to explore a topic on which others had only hypothesized. "In the later stages of my research, I realized that I'm capable of adding knowledge to my chosen field of study."
The field will have to wait for Burg just a bit longer. He will start graduate school next year where he plans to continue his scholarly investigations.
"The URC brings a sense of professionalism to undergraduate education," says Burg. "It has opened my eyes to the amount of hard work and intellect found on our campus."
