The Shakopee Activities office would like parents to join us for a three part series of meetings focused on mental health of athletes with our Sports Psychologist, Allie Wagener. Shakopee has launched an initiative this year to partner with Achieve Performance Psychology to make sure our student athletes are taken care of both mentally and physically. Our teams have the option to work with Allie or her colleague Katie during their seasons and now we would like parents to get involved as well!
Do you have a question that you would like to submit to Allie? If so, please click here to ask it. She will answer as many as she can during the next meeting!
