The Student-Athlete Advisors Attend HECA
We’re back from an amazing few days at the HECA conference in San Antonio—and wow, was it a great one.
From start to finish, we loved every minute. The sessions were packed with helpful insights (big shoutout to all the presenters!), but what really stood out was getting to spend time with so many incredible IECs and college reps. Whether we were chatting between sessions, swapping stories over dinner, or brainstorming ways to better support student-athletes, the energy and collaboration throughout the week was contagious.
Our team was lucky enough to take part in a couple of sessions, too. Reid hosted a lively Q&A with college coaches—where Joe and Amy jumped in with great perspectives—and Katie contributed to a thoughtful conversation about how IECs can team up to support students with unique needs or goals. Both sessions reminded us just how powerful it is when we all come together to share knowledge and experiences.
To wrap up the trip, we took a little detour to Austin and toured three awesome campuses: Southwestern, UT Austin, and St. Edward’s. We got to meet with Sport Management directors and associate athletic directors, check out athletic facilities, and soak up the campus vibes firsthand. Safe to say we’ll be bringing back lots of fresh insight for our students and families.
Thanks again to the HECA community for a fantastic week. Already looking forward to the next one!
