This book was released on 2021 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this basic interpretive study was to explore the recruitment and enrollment process for Division III athletic recruits. Rather than reflecting on these experiences after going through it, this study provided access into the experience as they were still going through the process as seniors in high school. Perna's (2006) Conceptual Model of College Choice was used as the conceptual framework for this study. Data was collected from prospective Division III student-athletes as they were engaged in their college search during their senior year of high school through individual interviews and a follow-up focus group conversation. The research led to four key findings: the students sought authentic interactions with the colleges that were recruiting them, the students received guidance and feedback from current coaches in their lives, academic offerings provided a foundation to the student college search, and parents were influential participants in each student's college search. If athletic and enrollment administrators can understand the process as a student experiences it while they are being recruited, they will have a more thorough understanding of how to connect the needs of each student with what the institution has to offer. With a better understanding of the process, recruiters can be more genuine with the information they provide and, hopefully, enroll students who are a good fit for the institution athletically and academically.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The recruitment experiences of Division III student athletes were examined using a transcendental phenomenological design. Four freshman student-athletes, competing in different sports, for different institutions, and within different conferences at the Division III level participated in the qualitative study; their parents served as informants. All interviews were transcribed verbatim, and four athlete-parent dyads were created based on head coach gender and student-athlete gender. Following phenomenological reduction and coding, taxonomic analysis was conducted to categorize head coach recruitment behaviors within and across all dyads. Common head coach behaviors were identified as: influence tactics, relationship development, and gateway tactics. Cross-dyad analysis revealed gender differences in specific head coach behaviors during the recruitment process. The methodology of the study encapsulated the recruitment experience from the student-athlete and the parent perspectives, providing practitioners with considerations for recruiting Generation Z student-athletes and researchers with a foundation to further explore gender differences in head coach recruitment behaviors in the future.
Book Synopsis A Recruitment Profile of Student-athletes at a Division III Institution in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference by : Douglas A. Wohlstein
Download or read book A Recruitment Profile of Student-athletes at a Division III Institution in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference written by Douglas A. Wohlstein and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary mission of Division III colleges and universities revolves around prioritizing the quality of students’ educational experiences. Within this context, athletics holds great significance for student–athletes, representing an integral part of their overall development (National Collegiate Athletic Association, 2022). Division III institutions rely heavily on tuition and enrollment as crucial sources of funding. The objective of this nonexperimental quantitative study was to comprehensively explore the factors influencing university choice among student–athletes in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference through digital administration of the Interscholastic Student–Athlete Recruiting Questionnaire to student–athletes at Averett University. The aim was to create a detailed recruiting profile for male and female student by identifying key university choice factors. Doing so would allow coaches and recruiters to refine their recruiting strategies and effectively attract commitments from prospective athletes. Family sport culture had low–moderate associations with most university choice factors. Coaching was the category ranked most important, with coach personality and relationships established during recruiting not only ranking highly as factors but also positively associated with all other factors. Female student–athletes were more susceptible to influence than their male counterparts with regard to the categories of academics, communication tactics, coaching, and location. The implications of the study for those recruiting student–athletes pertain to the significance of various factors influencing the university selection processes of student–athletes. Comprehension of these factors will allow focused tailoring of recruitment strategies to secure greater commitments from prospective student–athletes and improvement in overall enrollment rates.

Download or read book Find Your Fit written by Augie Heath and published by Augie Heath. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Find Your Fit: A Guide Through The College Athletics Recruiting Process was written by Augie Heath while he was still in college playing football on full scholarship for Sacramento State. Augie wrote Find Your Fit to serve as the book he wishes he had after going through the recruiting process himself twice (once as a high school recruit, and later as a junior college student-athlete). In Find Your Fit, Augie writes about how he put himself in a position to earn a full Division I athletic scholarship, what it is like to go through the college athletics recruiting process, how he would guide current student-athletes through their own athletic recruitment, as well as what it is really like to be a Division I student-athlete. During his recruitment, Augie received scholarship offers from Division I-FCS, Division II, and Division III schools. He received Preferred Walk-On offers from multiple Division I-FBS universities, took multiple official visits, negotiated scholarship amounts face-to-face with multiple college coaches, and ultimately fulfilled his dream of playing Division I football on a full ride scholarship. Find Your Fit is different than any other recruiting guide out there in the respect that it was written by a college student-athlete who actually went through the recruiting process. Augie writes about his own athletic recruitment, what he did right, what he did wrong, and the mind games he saw coaches play with recruits and walk-on teammates. In the book, you will see that Augie gives clear thoughts on how to get noticed by college coaches, the most effective things you can do to take control of your own recruitment, how to find the school that is the right fit for you, and how to put yourself in position to get the most scholarship money possible. Getting a sports scholarship is a realistic and achievable goal. Find Your Fit is an easy read that makes sense and helps you take the right steps towards getting your college education paid for!

Book Synopsis Finding Meaning in the College Choice Process of NCAA Division III Female Basketball Student Athletes by : Kimberly L. Fierke
Download or read book Finding Meaning in the College Choice Process of NCAA Division III Female Basketball Student Athletes written by Kimberly L. Fierke and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study was designed to understand the meaning behind the factors that influenced recruited NCAA Division III female basketball student athletes when choosing which institution to attend. A questionnaire, interview, and focus group were used in this phenomenological study to gather data from ten first year women basketball players at three NCAA Division III institutions located in the Southeast. The students ranked location of college, coaching staff, campus visit, academic reputation and potential playing time as the most popular factors influencing college choice. The crux of this research lies in the relationship between each student athlete and the college coach. Every participant was introduced to their current institution through the women's basketball coach. The influence of the coach, the feeling of the campus, coupled with the financial aid package inspired matriculation to their current institution.
Book Synopsis The Generational Impact on the Use of Social Media on the Recruitment of Prospective Student-athletes in NCAA Division II/III Football Programs by : Billy Jack Ray
Download or read book The Generational Impact on the Use of Social Media on the Recruitment of Prospective Student-athletes in NCAA Division II/III Football Programs written by Billy Jack Ray and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The explosion of social media effects almost every aspect of peoples’ daily lives. This is also true as it relates to NCAA Division II and Division III football programs and the recruitment of potential student-athletes. As social media impacts a greater portion of society, it is important to determine the trends of recruiting techniques using social media in order to keep pace with rival football programs, and possibly redistributing program funds for better use. By knowing what path recruiting is taking, Division II/III programs with smaller budgets will know where to allot funds better to keep pace in recruiting prospective players. In this study, the researcher surveyed head coaches, offensive coordinators, defensive coordinators, and recruiting coordinators from 60 (32 Division II and 28 Division III) football programs spanning six athletic conferences, the Lone Star Conference (9 programs), the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (11 programs), the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association (12 programs), the American Southwest Conference (10 programs), the Southern Athletic Conference (9 programs), and the Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (9 programs). The surveys were completed by the head coach of each program so the overall direction of the program could be determined. Questions included, but were not limited to, age, educational background, experience, basic use of social media, and the programs’ use of social media.

Book Synopsis NCAA Division I Recruiting by : Heather J. Lawrence
Download or read book NCAA Division I Recruiting written by Heather J. Lawrence and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2006, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) celebrated 100 years of providing opportunities for students to participate in intercollegiate athletics. During that time intercollegiate athletics underwent tremendous transformation. Beginning as student-run endeavors on Ivy League campuses, it has now evolved into a multibillion-dollar industry within the United States. "Intercollegiate athletics is now so entrenched in American society that in 2004 the United States House of Representatives Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade, and Consumer Protection held two special hearings to address their concerns about the recruitment of student-athletes" (Lawrence, Merckx, & Hebert, 2008, p. 4). The concerns addressed in the hearings centered on the negative culture of the official visit (U.S. House of Representatives, 2004a; U.S. House of Representatives, 2004b). A prospective student-athlete or recruit is an individual who has begun ninth grade and has an interest in playing college sports (NCAA, 2007, p. 28). As of the first day of their senior year in high school, prospective student-athletes are allowed to take up to five official visits to college campuses (NCAA, p. 30). NCAA Division I Bylaw 13.02.15.1 states that an "official visit to a member institution by a prospective student-athlete is a visit financed in whole or in part by the member institution" (NCAA, n.d.a.). Additionally, the Division I on-campus official visit is limited to 48 hours and is governed by over 300 bylaws that contain the words "official visit" in the NCAA Legislative Services Database (NCAA). With intercollegiate sports taking on competitive business characteristics in recent years, success in recruiting student-athletes has become critical to coaches in all divisions of the NCAA. The official recruiting visit is one part of an increasingly complex recruiting process that engages collegiate coaches and high school athletes year-round. NCAA Division I institutions have received more negative publicity about recruiting practices in recent years than their counterparts in Division II or III (Anderson & Dohrmann, 2004; Jacobson & Suggs, 2004; Landman, 2005; Wieberg, 2005). The media and the United States Congress have publicized allegations of recruits being involved with alcohol, drugs, strippers, sex, vandalism, and violence during their official visits (Anderson & Dohrmann; Jacobson & Suggs, 2004; Landman, 2005; U.S. House of Representatives, 2004a, U.S. House of Representatives, 2004b; Wieberg, 2005). These incidents raise questions as to the level of legal responsibi ty that NCAA institutions have for the actions of recruits during the official visit. The official visit is an inherently risky venture for an institution. To date, no statutory law exists and few cases are available to guide institutions as to the duty they owe prospective student-athletes during the official visit. In most cases, recruits are under the age of 18 (minor) or between 19 and 20 (underage) when they are invited to campus for an official visit. Occasionally a prospect over the age of 21 (adult) may participate in an official visit. Current case law has established that college students are adults in the eyes of the legal system and finds no special duty owed by institutions under normal circumstances (Booker v. Lehigh University, 1993). However, courts have held that student-athletes are owed a special duty of care when they are engaged in athletic endeavors, especially if they have been actively recruited by the institution (Kleinknecht v. Gettysburg College, 1993). Because prospective student-athletes are not yet college students, it is unclear as to how they would be viewed by the legal system as it relates to duty. To establish duty and determine if a defendant's action has breached that duty, the circumstances of time, place, and person must be examined (West & Ciccolella, 2004).Additionally, legal precedent also will contribute to the establishment of duty in state law-based cases. The purpose of this article is to examine in detail the liability exposure an institution may assume during the official visit, emphasizing Division I. Specifically, we explore (a) the risks associated with the official visit, (b) the institutions' duty to protect prospective student-athletes during the official visit, (c) if the age of the prospect alters the standard of care owed to the prospective student-athlete, (d) the potential for tort liability resulting from injuries sustained by prospective student-athletes on and off campus, as well as whether such liability may transfer to the institution through the student-athlete host, and (e) mitigation strategies to reduce institutional exposure to risk related to the official visit.
Book Synopsis How the Introduction of Social Media Communication Affects Recruitment for Division III National Collegiate Athletic Association Teams by : Kelly Jo Wilson
Download or read book How the Introduction of Social Media Communication Affects Recruitment for Division III National Collegiate Athletic Association Teams written by Kelly Jo Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The capstone begins with a brief history of recruitment rules for member institutions of the NCAA. The capstone then goes into a review of literature surrounding the integrity of recruiting and the importance of following these rules for the benefit of the prospective student athlete. The question asked is, how the introduction of social media communication affects recruitment for Division III National Collegiate Athletic Association teams? The literature review focuses on marketing and communication to evaluate how social media affects recruitment. The NCAA is making an effort to level the playing field of prospective student athlete. With these rules being constantly updated, the NCAA is attempting to give both parties a fair opportunity at having an ethical and successful experience in collegiate athletics. When the NCAA expects their prospective student athletes to have an ethical presence on social media, this only encourage success once they become collegiate student athletes.

Download or read book Beer and Circus written by Murray Sperber and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beer and Circus presents a no-holds-barred examination of the troubled relationship between college sports and higher education from a leading authority on the subject. Murray Sperber turns common perceptions about big-time college athletics inside out. He shows, for instance, that contrary to popular belief the money coming in to universities from sports programs never makes it to academic departments and rarely even covers the expense of maintaining athletic programs. The bigger and more prominent the sports program, the more money it siphons away from academics. Sperber chronicles the growth of the university system, the development of undergraduate subcultures, and the rising importance of sports. He reveals television's ever more blatant corporate sponsorship conflicts and describes a peculiar phenomenon he calls the "Flutie Factor"--the surge in enrollments that always follows a school's appearance on national television, a response that has little to do with academic concerns. Sperber's profound re-evaluation of college sports comes straight out of today's headlines and opens our eyes to a generation of students caught in a web of greed and corruption, deprived of the education they deserve. Sperber presents a devastating critique, not only of higher education but of national culture and values. Beer and Circus is a must-read for all students and parents, educators and policy makers.
