The Impact of Social Media on Athletes

Nicole Rawson

Digital Wellness Expert & Founder of Screen Time Clinic

In recent years, the negative impacts of excess screen time have become increasingly apparent, but just how bad is it?

Nicole Rawson, digital wellness expert and founder of Screen Time Clinic, joins us this week to discuss the effects of screen use, social media, and video gaming on the developing mind and offers tips on how to manage device usage.

Rawson, inspired by her observations as a teacher and mother, saw firsthand how excessive screen time affected children. Her insight prompted a career change from education to digital wellness.

In this episode:

  • How excessive screen time can actually cause brain trauma
  • How social media impacts athletic performance
  • Why athletes need to advocate for themselves and how to do so offline
  • The value in making human connections IRL

        Welcome. I’m Mark Koesterer, founder of The Players NIL, and I have a deep passion for this work. My background includes a long and extensive relationship with the sporting industry. As a former college athlete, I have first hand experience navigating the collegiate world.

All of this gave me expert-level experience in digital marketing, branding, production, group licensing, sponsorship, influencer marketing, apparel design and production, and fan engagement.
