Renee Temple, a kinesiology major at the University of North Dakota (UND), is managing both her academic studies and her responsibilities as captain of the UND Cheer Team. Temple has developed strategies to keep up with her coursework while leading her team.

She described her approach: “I have a rule for myself that homework gets done on campus, at the Union or other study spots, so my mind stays on school. Then, when I’m at practice, my mind stays on practice. I group everything so I’m not thinking about everything all at once.”

Temple noted that there are connections between what she learns in class and her athletic activities. Her studies in kinesiology provide insights into movement, training, and leadership that she applies during cheer practices.
