Kameron Roach: "I get to Know Them (Student Athletes) Outside of Their Sport"
This week on Play, Learn, Lead, I had the chance to sit down with Kameron Roach, the Director of Student-Athlete Development at UNC Charlotte. From growing up as a young athlete with big dreams to becoming a D1 basketball player, Kameron's story is all about growth, grit, and giving back.
We talked about the coaches who shaped her early on, the moment she realized she had the talent to compete at the next level, and what the recruiting process taught her. She opened up about why she chose to start her college career at Kentucky—and what led her to transfer and find her fit at UNC Charlotte.
Now, in her role helping student-athletes thrive off the court, Kameron shares how she’s mentoring, motivating, and making a difference through leadership, career prep, and mindset development. This episode is full of heart, purpose, and powerful takeaways for anyone who works with young athletes.
