Deaflympics


UWS and USADSF Partnership

University of Western States (UWS) is partnering with the USA Deaf Sports Federation (USADSF) to provide sport and performance psychology services for American athletes at the 2025 Deaflympics in Tokyo. Led by UWS’ Becky Clark, Ph.D., a three-time Deaflympian and gold medalist, the initiative brings together certified consultants, licensed therapists, and UWS doctoral students to support athletes’ performance and mental health both virtually and on-site at the Games.
