BYU Athletics debuted The Athletes’ Journal—a new series featuring Cougar athletes telling their story in their own words in the fall of 2018. It was awarded a CASE Platinum Award for best practices in communications and marketing in winter 2020.
The Athletes’ Journal series regularly features the unique perspectives of BYU student-athletes throughout the year and provides in-depth insight into the lives of members of BYU’s intercollegiate sports programs.
The Athletes’ Journal is published on the BYU Exposure Gallery and available at BYUCougars.com and via BYU’s social media channels. Links to all published stories can be found below.
