The goal of the Session Long Project is to reflect on your role as a current, or future, leader in athletics. Each SLP assignment will require you to develop a component of the Session Long Project, and you will submit a complete project in Module 4.

The components are outlined below:

SLP 1: Practitioner Self Reflection
SLP 2: Identify legislation or an issue that is relevant to your work (or future work) impacting athletics in your area.
SLP 3: Assess current policies and legislation for this problem
SLP 4: Develop an action plan to address and improve the problem

You have identified a specific issue or piece of legislation that is impacting athletics in your area. For SLP 3, you will assess the policies and legislation that are currently in place.

Write a 2-page paper with the following components:

1. What policies have the governing bodies put into place relating to this issue?
2. Does your institution have specific policies regarding this issue?
3. Are the current policies adequate? Are they being enforced consistently?
