LSU Basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal received his second master’s degree, a master of Arts in Liberal Arts, from LSU on Saturday.
His thesis, titled “Interdisciplinary Approach to Mentorship through the lens of the epic poem – ‘The Odyssey,'” aimed to support his position as a mentor to athletes.
O’Neal pursued the program because he said there were no high-level professional or former athletes who are sports psychologists.
He saw the need for a first-person perspective on the experience of being a professional athlete to help mentor those coming up.
