Abstract/Description
The purpose of this research project is to see how social media affects athletes. The reason why I want to see how athletes are affected on and off the court is because of social media. Every sport is now affected by social media, good and bad. But the athletes take the hits most of the time especially on the pr level. But social media can also act in a way that can help improve athletes performance and to help athletes improve on there skills sets. That is the main focus point of my research project is to see how athletes can handle social media and the mental health aspect of it as well.
