ACE provides opportunities to meet other athletes from both Stanford and Duke from a variety of sports, allowing me to understand how other student-athletes are working to achieve their goals, helping me both in my sport and in the classroom. It also provides a gateway into the professional world that I may not otherwise have the opportunity to do because of my position as a student-athlete at Duke.
