Building Credibility Through Sports

Charles McNeal

Master’s Student, Leadership & Strategic Design
University of Indianapolis

This week, master’s student Charles McNeal joins us to talk about how his college wrestling experience contributed to his professional development and how it led to him pursuing his master’s degree.

On top of being a full-time student and being on the men’s wrestling team, McNeal maximized his college experience by participating in many different activities, including being an RA, a student ambassador, joining clubs, and working several positions within the athletic department at his school. Being open to all of these experiences – mainly introduced to him through his involvement in wrestling – is what he attributes much of his success to in where he is today.
