Greensburg, PA- Seton Hill Athletics is proud to announce a partnership with The Zone, a mobile app designed to monitor and improve the mental health of student-athletes. The partnership will promote the physical and mental wellness of Seton Hill student-athletes as a continued priority for the college. Seton Hill joins 7 colleges & universities around the US currently using The Zone's software within their athletic program.
 
"We are thrilled to continue and build on our partnership with The Zone.  College student-athletes are a unique population and need the utmost support.  At Seton Hill, our athletic department, along with help from The Zone, is committed to providing high level mental health and wellness skills and resources, so our student-athletes can not only experience success in college, but live a healthy life outside of sport and the classroom." Said Hadara Katarski, Coordinator for Student-Athlete Well-Being, Seton Hill University
 
Created by former Division 2 student-athletes, The Zone's innovative software allows student-athletes to access wellness resources, easily communicate with campus staff, and track their mood. School administrators can access aggregate data and insights surrounding student-athlete wellness through a personalized dashboard, giving teams a unique understanding of what is happening within the athletic program while maintaining student privacy. Last year, 51% of student transfers were due to mental health-related issues. By using The Zone, Seton Hill can continue its commitment to holistically supporting student-athlete mental health and wellness while on campus.
 
'We are so pleased to extend our partnership with Seton Hill University into the 2022-23 school year. Through our initial spring pilot, it quickly became clear how much the Seton Hill staff care for their student-athletes. As former division 2 athletes ourselves, I have never seen such a supportive culture on campus and look forward to having our technology be a key component in providing resources, data, and insights to the athletic program." Said Erik Poldroo, Co-Founder at The Zone.
