034 | PROFESSOR GEN X with Dr. Julie Partridge, Professor, Sport Psychologist, and Former College Athlete

Dr. Julie Partridge is a well-respected Professor and Sport Psychologist at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Growing up in rural Kansas, her earliest dreams were to become a classically trained professional musician as a violinist. However, over time, those dreams made way for sports where she found success as a softball and a volleyball player. With her playing days done after two years of college, she felt drawn toward a career as a sport psychologist, ultimately earning both a masters and doctoral degree in the field. Today, she serves as a graduate program director and professor of sport and exercise psychology, but in 2019, she unexpectedly found herself in an emergency room with a diagnosis of a pulmonary embolism that could have cost her her life. Since then, she’s combined her skills as a speaker and researcher along with her experiences as a patient to raise awareness through work as an advocate of the National Blood Clot Alliance in Episode 34: PROFESSOR GEN X
