Written by: Blake Costalupes After writing a series of blog posts for my Talent Development class at Fresno State University, I decided that the idea of a platform where coaches can learn and discuss topics related to what they love (assuming thats coaching), would be something worth continuing... So here it is. And "Who am I?" you're probably asking. Great question. My name is Blake Costalupes. I am soon entering my last semester at Fresno State, where I am earning a master's degree in Sport and Performance Psychology.
