How are Olympians coping with the intense pressure of competition? According to a recent HuffPost story, many are turning to knitting and crochet. HuffPost News Editor Jillian Capewell interviewed Ashley Samson, Ph.D., a sport and exercise psychology professor at the University of Kentucky, to explore why having a hobby outside of athletics can be so beneficial for elite competitors.

Samson, a faculty member in the UK College of Education's Department of Kinesiology and Health Promotion, is featured in the Feb. 18 HuffPost article, "A Shocking Number of Olympians Love This Wholesome Hobby -- And There's a Compelling Reason."
