Download or read book A Profile of the Major Selection of Student Athletes at a Division I-AA Institution and how They Compare to Students in the General Population written by Sarah Louise Schmitt and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The qualitative study addressed how the experience of being a student athlete influenced their selection of a major. Results show that student athletes were not selecting the same majors as their non-athlete counterparts. Significant differences were also found when comparing student athletes to students in the general population after classifying them by gender and sport profile. Among student athletes, only gender was found to be a significant determinant of major. Results from the qualitative study found that athletic participation has impacted the major selection of college athletes in a variety of ways including: time available to devote to academics, the scheduling of classes during athletic practices, and the treatment of professors and advisors toward their athletic status.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Academic Progress Rate is a metric of points earned by student-athletes for retention and eligibility. Student-athletes that leave school academically ineligible receive a score of 0/2. This study sought to identify common characteristics of the 0/2 student-athletes of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Six ACC schools participated in the study, providing data on 190 student-athletes that were identified as 0/2 over the past four years. A general profile of an 0/2 student-athlete is a Black male, leaving during the 4 th or 5th year of enrollment, having exhausted athletic eligibility, who was academically eligible the term prior to the 0/2 term. The most important finding of the study was that the greatest majority of student-athletes fail out of school in their last semester of eligibility.

Download or read book Ivy League Athletes written by Sal Maiorana and published by Northeastern University Press. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is the governing body for some 400,000 college athletes in the United States. During football's bowl season and basketball's March Madness, the NCAA likes to remind its millions of TV viewers that it represents student athletes: most of its members compete as amateurs and will never go pro. Somehow, that message seems increasingly lost in a sea of multimillion-dollar TV deals, recruitment scandals, back-channel payouts, fan hysteria, player misbehavior both civil and criminal, and the routine bendingÑor floutingÑof college and NCAA rules about player academic eligibility. Far from this madding crowd, the nation's oldest, most prestigious private colleges and universities go about the business of making scholar-athletes from the ranks of their admitted classes, without special recruitment or scholarship money, and demanding and getting the best from them both on the field and in the classroom. Using a model that has changed very little since it was founded in 1954, the Ivy League offers a bracing corrective to the excesses of big-money college sports. In Ivy League Athletes, veteran sportswriter Sal Maiorana follows nine student-athletes from seven Ivy League campuses through the 2011Ð2012 season. Along the way he shows us the qualities of heart, mind, and body that got them there and allow them to prosper on the field and in the classroom. The book includes a foreword by former Harvard and current NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The game of football teaches lessons that are as applicable on the playing field as they are in the classroom, workplace, and in our relationships with those around us. In Heart of a Student Athlete, Karl Mecklenburg -- former all-pro captain of the Denver Broncos -- offers young athletes and their families inspirational advice about how to dream, achieve, and overcome obstacles on their way to success. Mecklenburg's candid, anecdotal counsel will motivate student athletes to aim high, work hard, and avoid the numerous challenges that they may face--including pressure to perform in the game, emphasis on sport over study, and the temptation of illegal drugs. In addition to sharing the incredible story of his unlikely rise from amateur athlete to Super Bowl Championship competitor, Mecklenburg outlines his template for success and reveals its six key components: teamwork, courage, honesty and forgiveness, desire, dedication, and goal setting. Accessible and brimming with enthusiasm, this book explains these keys and empowers athletes, parents, and coaches with the tools they need to achieve success and foster it in the young athletes in their lives.

Download or read book Athletic and Academic Motivational Profiles of Varsity Student-athletes written by Meghan Parenteau and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Athletic success sometimes may involve participants to work hard, be self-disciplined, exhibit perseverance and determination, and be able to concentrate. If such qualities are transferred into the academic domain, students may also experience academic motivation and success. Many varsity student-athletes are lacking motivation and hard work in the classroom but excel in these categories on the athletic fields. This study of the student-athlete and their motivational levels both in and out of the classroom will provide educators, coaches, and administrators with the knowledge about how to create a positive academic learning environment for its student athletes. The self-expectancy theory by Atkinson, Wigfield, and Eccles (2000) relates motivational levels to expectancies set by individuals. Motivational levels determine the tasks that we choose, persistence during those tasks, how much effort is exerted, and potentially levels of performance. This study examines how athletics influences academic motivation of high school varsity athletes. This phenomenological study analyzes the experiences of five high school varsity student-athletes in the classroom and on the athletic field. The sample was randomly selected participants who were currently participating in competitive varsity athletics at Corbin High School. Qualitative data was triangulated through interviews, observation, and artifact collection. The findings from this study can guide teachers, coaches, and administrators to know how to best motivate students in suburban schools where there is a high priority placed on athletics. Increased levels of motivation can in turn lead to higher levels of academic achievement increasing student performance.

Download or read book College Athletes for Hire written by Allen L. Sack and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1998-07-17 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books have been written on the evils of commercialism in college sport, and the hypocrisy of payments to athletes from alumni and other sources outside the university. Almost no attention, however, has been given to the way that the National Collegiate Athletic Association has embraced professionalism through its athletic scholarship policy. Because of this gap in the historical record, the NCAA is often cast as an embattled defender of amateurism, rather than as the architect of a nationwide money-laundering scheme. Sack and Staurowsky show that the NCAA formally abandoned amateurism in the 1950s and passed rules in subsequent years that literally transformed scholarship athletes into university employees. In addition, by purposefully fashioning an amateur mythology to mask the reality of this employer-employee relationship, the NCAA has done a disservice to student-athletes and to higher education. A major subtheme is that women, such as those who created the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), opposed this hypocrisy, but lacked the power to sustain an alternative model. After tracing the evolution of college athletes into professional entertainers, and the harmful effects it has caused, the authors propose an alternative approach that places college sport on a firm educational foundation and defend the rights of both male and female college athletes. This is a provocative analysis for anyone interested in college sports in America and its subversion of traditional educational and amateur principles.

This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you a high school athlete who dreams about playing in the Rose Bowl? Maybe you see yourself playing for the Texas Longhorns or the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. For every high school senior who wants to play football for a school like the Florida Gators, there are thousands of other athletes who will be competing to achieve the same dream. There are more than 1.2 million kids playing football on the high school level. However, only about 3,000 high school football players each year get to sign a national letter of intent to play for a Division I (FBS) University and another 2,300 at the Division I-AA (FCS) level. This constitutes less than 1% of high school students who are offered that elusive football scholarship. Because of these odds, even talented players like you need an advantage. To make yourself standout from the rest of the field, you need to know how to market yourself to a university, interact with their coaching staff and ensure that you are doing the right things off the field to get the best scholarship opportunities available. By compiling advice from college coaches, communication experts, as well as scholarship athletes, this in-depth book is a “how to” manual that puts you in the best position to earn a college football scholarship. Talent is a necessity, but it takes the right strategy to propel an athlete to the next level. By following this easy step-by-step guide, you will be well on your way to earning that coveted football scholarship.
