TROY, Ala. – Elizabeth Clough, a student-assistant for Troy women's volleyball, and a former javelin thrower for the Track & Field Team, attended the 2012 NCAA Career in Sports Forum, which took place June 7-10 in Indianapolis.
Clough was among 300 student-athletes selected from a pool of over 650 across all three divisions by the NCAA Student-Athlete Affairs Committee.
In 2011, Clough played in all 115 sets as the Trojan Volleyball team qualified for their first Sun Belt Tournament since 2005. Clough posted 28 starts on the Trojans' back line while recording 268 total digs, the second most on the team, with an average of 2.33 digs/set. She posted double-figure digs on 11 different occasions, including a career-high 23 against North Texas. She also posted a team-high 26 service aces while battling back from a knee injury that cost her most of the 2010 season.
Clough played in just eight matches in 2010 before her season came to an end in the Auburn match due to a knee injury. She had recorded 72 digs in 25 sets at the time of the injury. As a freshman in 2009, Clough played in 29 matches, starting 25. She posted a team-high 277 digs, averaging 2.83 digs/set. Clough set a season-high with 19 digs on three occasions. She also recorded 96 kills and 17 service aces.
In her last year of competing in the javelin throw, Clough threw a distance of 46.87 meters at the Louisiana Classics, which was the longest in the Sun Belt and 41st best in the nation. Prior to the Sun Belt Championships, Clough suffered another knee injury that cost her the remainder of her track and volleyball careers.
With the injury, Clough moves to the Trojans bench to help coach the team while working towards a Bachelor's degree in sport and fitness management.
The NCAA Career in Sports Forum is a four-day event through which selected student-athletes explore and are educated on careers in sports, with a primary focus on intercollegiate athletics. The Forum provides an extension of that educational goal by coaching student-athletes on how to become the industry's next generation of leaders.
The participants are given an educational opportunity to learn and gain valuable exposure to careers in sports, specifically in the areas of coaching, administration and sports entertainment. A range of seminars discuss key issues coaches and administrators face, examine the participants' personality traits and how they can help or hinder their paths to success, and introduce them to networking and communication skills that are essential to breaking into and navigating the athletics world.
