FGCU Beach Volleyball Head Coach Chris Sweat highlighted what made this season exceptional for Carpenter.</p> <p>“She was so carefree. Hey, this is my last year, what do I have to lose? I’m going to go all out. It was by far the best volleyball she’s ever played,” said Sweat.</p> <p>Carpenter managed her athletic career while living with type one diabetes, a condition she was diagnosed with at just seven years old.</p> <p>“I honestly don’t remember my life before it. So it’s something I’ve taken as a way to, instead of it being a challenge, have it as something I can overcome and use it as a way to inspire others,” said Carpenter.</p> <p>At FGCU, Carpenter truly was an inspiration. She volunteered after Hurricane Ian, started “See Her Soar” to support female student-athletes beyond sports, and served as president of the FGCU Student Athlete Advisory Committee. All this while maintaining a perfect 4.0 GPA.</p> <p>“I wanted to come to a program that was going to allow me to continue to be a leader. And then when I got to FGCU, I realized it was so much more than the beach volleyball team and there were so many cool opportunities for me to make an impact and really inspire others to continue leading as well,” said Carpenter.</p> <p>Carpenter, an FGCU Hall of Famer, aspires for her legacy to be one of leading by example.</p> <p>“It’s my biggest leadership philosophy is being the one to show up. Whether it’s getting to the court 20 minutes early, putting in the extra work on off days or taking the initiative to do a community service event and trying to bring others along with you,” said Carpenter.</p> <p>Carpenter’s impact on FGCU is undeniable. She now heads to the University of Tennessee to work as a graduate assistant.</p> </p></div> <p><br /> <br /><a href="https://www.winknews.com/sports/fgcu-beach-volleyball-player-wins-asun-female-student-athlete-of-the-year/article_46dd9666-cf42-4ee2-9f39-b9d6680bbe52.html"> Link </a></p> <div class="post-views content-post post-101583 entry-meta load-static"> <span class="post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar"></span> <span class="post-views-label"></span> <span class="post-views-count">0</span> </div> </div><!--mvp-post-add-main--> <div class="mvp-post-add-link"> <a href="https://yoursportsnation.com/fgcu-beach-volleyball-player-wins-asun-female-student-athlete-of-the-year-sports/" rel="bookmark"><span class="mvp-post-add-link-but">Continue Reading</span></a> </div><!--mvp-post-add-link--> </div><!--mvp-post-add-cont--> </div><!--mvp-post-add-body--> </div><!--mvp-post-add-story--> <div class="mvp-post-add-story left relative"> <div class="mvp-post-add-head left relative"> <h3 class="mvp-post-cat left relative"><a class="mvp-post-cat-link" href="https://yoursportsnation.com/category/sports/"><span class="mvp-post-cat left">Sports</span></a></h3> <h1 class="mvp-post-title left">Brisbane To Bid for 2030 Pan Pacific Champs</h1> <span class="mvp-post-excerpt left"><p>Brisbane To Kick Start 2032 Olympic Games With A Bid For The 2030 Pan Pacs Brisbane’s new National Aquatic Centre will face a race against time to be ready for a Swimming Australia bid to host the 2030 Pan Pacific Championships, which would officially kick start the buildup to the 2032 Olympic Games.

Start 2032 Olympic Games With A Bid For The 2030 Pan Pacs</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Brisbane’s new National Aquatic Centre will face a race against time to be ready for a Swimming Australia bid to host the 2030 Pan Pacific Championships, which would officially kick start the buildup to the 2032 Olympic Games.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">While hosting rights for the combined sports World Aquatics Championships – hosted by Australia in 1991, 1998 and 2007 – would also be pursued for 2031 or 2033.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">It’s hoped that the 2030 Pan Pacs will be held at the new National Aquatic Centre and to kick off an impressive two-year line up of swimming, artistic swimming, diving and water polo events in the buildup to the 2032 Games.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The Brisbane <em>Courier Mail</em> has reported today that Swimming Australia is finalising its bid to secure Brisbane the rights to host the 2030 Pan Pacific Championships, a meet first contested in Tokyo in 1985 to rival the successful European Championships and instigated by Pan Pac member nations Australia, USA, Canada and Japan.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Brisbane was the first Australian city to host the Pan Pacs at the time-honored Brisbane Aquatic Centre at Chandler in 1987 – a meet that saw a US team win 24 of the 32 gold medals up for grabs – with world records to <strong>Tom Jager</strong> (50 freestyle) and <strong>Dave Wharton</strong> (400IM).</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">And a meet that has often been included in the lead up by Olympic host cities, with the 1999 Pan Pacs in Sydney far and away the standout, 12 months out from Sydney 2000 when it rained world records, including three to <strong>Ian Thorpe</strong> in three days in the 200 and 400 freestyles.</p> <div id="attachment_161493" style="width: 610px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async"

400;">The Gold Coast hosted the 2014 Pan Pacs with the unstoppable <strong>Katie Ledecky</strong> winning the 200,,400, 800 and 1500m freestyle – the 400 and 1500m freestyles in world record time.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Los Angeles has already been locked in to host the 2026 Pan Pacs, two years out from LA28.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Swimming Australia CEO <strong>Rob Woodhouse </strong>(who incidentally was second in Wharton’s 1987 world record swim) said the organisation was managing its expectations on venue construction timelines but there was a desire to replicate the lead up to LA 2028, with California hosting the 2026 Pan Pacs – two years out from their Games.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">“Our project team, which includes top architecture and infrastructure

Beyond the physical prowess and strategic plays, one influential element in their victory was the mental fortitude cultivated through mindfulness sessions led by university chaplain, Adrian Bird, Ph.D.</p> <p>In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, Bird reflected on his impactful journey with the team, highlighting the integral role of mental preparation in elite athletic performance and overall student well-being.</p> <p>A former rugby player and coach, Bird’s involvement with the team began organically. “As a new person to Queens, I was really hoping to connect with athletes so that they would get to know me as the chaplain,” he said. “Almost immediately I had the support of their coaching staff and what evolved was a holistic approach to student-athlete welfare, incorporating elements of sports psychology, mindfulness, and mind-body-spirit balance into weekly sessions.”</p> <p>The tools provided to the athletes focused on developing mental fortitude and positive self-talk. Bird emphasized preparing athletes to enter a game by repeating, “I am enough, I am equipped, I can perform at an elite level. I have the support of my teammates.” This mental remembering, he stressed, allows athletes to “enter with confidence into the zone of elite performance.”</p> <p>Bird even facilitated a Zoom session with leading sports psychologist Bill Beswick, who has worked with teams including Manchester United and the English rugby team, to further equip the Queens athletes with strategies for mental preparation.</p> <p>The impact of the weekly sessions became particularly evident during the championship final, which went into extra time. “As I watched the game on the TV, I knew that that team was equipped mentally, even though they were physically exhausted,” Bird said, recalling the tense moments. “I had no doubt at all that they were going to take that game to victory.”</p> <p>Beyond the rugby field, Bird recognizes the unique mental health challenges faced by college students today. “It can be a very difficult place to be,” he acknowledged, citing external and internal pressures from academics, sports, family, peers, and the pervasive “imposter syndrome.”</p> <p>Bird’s approach to these challenges is not about “shutting off the noise,” but rather learning to “tune it out so that you can focus on the task at hand in the moment.” He believes these skills, initially honed for athletic performance, translate into valuable life tools for all students navigating the complexities of campus life.</p> <p>According to Amber Slack, Ed.D., vice president for student affairs and dean of students, a staggering percentage of students experience physical or emotional symptoms due to stress each month.</p> <p>“My research shows that college students, especially Gen Z, are struggling to cope with the stress of higher education,” Slack stated. “We know that loneliness, depression, and anxiety are real concerns that directly contribute to psychological distress. This makes student well-being an absolutely critical concern for us, demanding our attention and support.”</p> <p>Addressing the stigma surrounding mental health support, Bird champions the power of visibility and relationship-building. “If I can be on the field, engaging meaningfully with athletes in their training spaces, it builds a level of trust that makes it much easier for them to seek help when needed – on or off the field,” he said. This presence fosters trust, making it easier for students to seek help when needed.</p> <p>While still deeply connected to the women’s rugby team, Bird hopes to expand his presence across other athletic programs at Queens. His goal is to collaborate with coaches who see the value in integrating mind-body-spirit balance into their teams’ training, allowing him to “build relationships with students and accompany them on their journey throughout their time at Queens.”</p> <p>For Bird, this work is immensely rewarding. “I see my role as being very special. It’s an incredibly privileged position,” he shared. “The opportunity to be alongside students through the highs and the lows and everywhere in between is something I don’t take lightly.” Witnessing students thrive, both on and off the field, he said, is “incredibly validating for me.”</p> <p>Beyond the Chaplain’s Office, the Dean of Students Office provides support to students dealing with mental health crises. Confidential counseling services are also provided to students through the Queens University Health & Wellness Center from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. After hours, virtual counseling and a 24/7 crisis hotline are also available. Additionally, Queens Athletics provides access to a sports psychologist through Atrium Health. Student-athletes do not need a referral and can initiate scheduling through their athletic trainer or by calling 704-512-7578.</p> <p>The resources provided to students exemplify Queens’ commitment to supporting the holistic well-being of its students. By integrating mental health practices into the student experience, the university empowers its students not only to achieve peak performance in their chosen fields but also to develop resiliency for life’s broader challenges.</p> </div> <p><br /> <br /><a href="https://www.queens.edu/blog/2025/05/30/mind-over-matter-queens-chaplain-guides-womens-rugby-team-toward-national-title/"> Link </a></p> <div class="post-views content-post post-101560 entry-meta load-static"> <span class="post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar"></span> <span class="post-views-label"></span> <span class="post-views-count">0</span> </div> </div><!--mvp-post-add-main--> <div class="mvp-post-add-link"> <a href="https://yoursportsnation.com/queens-chaplain-guides-womens-rugby-toward-national-title/" rel="bookmark"><span class="mvp-post-add-link-but">Continue Reading</span></a> </div><!--mvp-post-add-link--> </div><!--mvp-post-add-cont--> </div><!--mvp-post-add-body--> </div><!--mvp-post-add-story--> <div class="mvp-post-add-story left relative"> <div class="mvp-post-add-head left relative"> <h3 class="mvp-post-cat left relative"><a class="mvp-post-cat-link" href="https://yoursportsnation.com/category/sports/"><span class="mvp-post-cat left">Sports</span></a></h3> <h1 class="mvp-post-title left">PIAA releases times, sites for boys volleyball playoffs</h1> <span class="mvp-post-excerpt left"><p>By: Don Rebel Friday, May 30, 2025 | 5:44 PM Christopher Horner | TribLive Shaler’s Nate Myers scores against Ambridge during the WPIAL Class 2A championship match on Saturday, May 24, 2025, at Peters Township.
