Victoria Adelman
Professor Sports Psychology
My past experiences as a collegiate softball player lead me to pursue a degree in sport psychology, with hopes of providing the resources and support that I wish I had as an athlete. Through my MA and PhD training I had the opportunity to work with: incarcerated youth, youth summer sports camps, high school basketball teams, high school football teams, and collegiate level volleyball teams. My experiences as a graduate teaching associate at the University of Tennessee cemented my passion for teaching. My goal as an instructor is to foster a learning environment where students feel like they are in control of their knowledge creation and are supported in that pursuit. It is my hope that students leave the courses that I teach feeling empowered and supported, both academically and personally. At the heart of my teaching philosophy are the relationships that I create with students as we take on the academic journey together, as co-travelers.
