Bowers’ Program Builds Better Teams 

Kinesiology and Health Education associate professor Matt Bowers has helped players such as freshman volleyball libero Emma Halter excel as a teammate through lessons taught in one of his signature courses, Building Winning Teams. Halter, who was a key factor in the UT women’s volleyball national title win on December 17, credits Bowers’s course with helping her gain confidence and remember her love of the game. Bowers’ program analyzes successful sports programs to see how winning strategies can be applied in students’ everyday lives. The UT women’s team just won their second consecutive NCAA tournament after defeating Nebraska this weekend. Read a profile on Bowers’ program in The Daily Texan.
