Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study will share the results of a study of the student-athlete experience, especially focusing on post competition experience. The design of the study was based on the theoretical work of student development theorists, NCAA data and identity foreclosure studies. Student-athletes were invited to engage in the research study where they shared their experiences before, during and, if applicable, after college. From the study, it became clear that student-athletes, without exception, suffered from "identity foreclosure" when their athletic career ended. Based on the findings of the study, recommendations have been developed for the athletes, coaches, other athletic department personnel and university staff. This research will share the results of the study while also sharing the recommendations for methods of lessening the impact of identity foreclosure for student-athletes.

Book excerpt: Researchers interested in the plight of the Black student-athletes have consistently identified the need for individuals to develop other salient aspects of their identities (Brewer et al, 1993; Harrison et al, 2011; Bimper and Harrison, 2011), however, there have been few feasible solutions such as the one this paper is offering. This paper explores the specific manner in which the 1. Identity of "athlete" forecloses on Black student-athletes multidimensional identities and 2. Proposes study abroad as a potential intervention. Studying abroad has been widely regarded as a positive experience in the multi-faceted identity development of students, and is currently a service severely under-utilized by student-athletes, specifically Black males. 3. This research proposes that studying abroad could have a liberating effect on student-athletes who have spent a majority of their time, and energy on sports. Furthermore, recent research on studying abroad has identified benefits such as a boost in GPA, graduation rates, career maturity, and self-efficacy, all of which are negatives associated with athletic identity foreclosure.
Book Synopsis Relations Among Athletic Identity Foreclosure, Career Maturity, and Career Exploration in College Student-athletes by : Christine M. Caldwell

This book was released on 2018 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: This study investigated the relationship between athletic identity foreclosure and career development (i.e., career maturity and career exploration) through the use of a sport-specific measure of athletic identity foreclosure. Student-athletes (N = 280) from colleges and universities in the United States provided demographic information and completed the Career Maturity Inventory - Form C, the Career Exploration Survey – Revised, and the Sport-Specific Measure of Identity Foreclosure. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that athletic identity foreclosure was inversely related both to career maturity and career exploration, suggesting that student-athletes who strongly and exclusively commit to their role as athletes fail to explore other non-sport-related career options. Additionally, student-athletes with high levels of athletic identity foreclosure may be less willing and capable of efficiently engaging in vocational tasks than studentathletes who are not in foreclosed in their athletic identity. Limitations of the study, areas for future research, and applied implications are discussed.
Book Synopsis An Examination of the Athletic Identity, Identity Foreclosure, and Career Maturity of Division I Collegiate Student-athletes in Nonrevenue-producing Sports by : Stacia A. Klasen
Download or read book An Examination of the Athletic Identity, Identity Foreclosure, and Career Maturity of Division I Collegiate Student-athletes in Nonrevenue-producing Sports written by Stacia A. Klasen and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Very few student-athletes will go on to become a professional in their sport; therefore, the vast majority will need to pursue a non-sport career once their collegiate athletic eligibility has ended. Research indicates that a strong athletic identity and identity foreclosure coincide with lower levels of career maturity, which contributes to the struggle that student-athletes often face with their post-sport transition. The majority of student-athletes compete in nonrevenue-producing collegiate sports (e.g., cross country and soccer), but this subgroup has not been adequately examined. This is problematic because research suggests that lower career maturity levels exist among student-athletes in both revenue- and nonrevenue-producing sports compared to non-athletes. As such, student-athletes in nonrevenue sports also may face career development and preparation challenges. To examine the relationships among athletic identity, identity foreclosure, and career maturity, the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS), Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status (EOM-EIS), Career Maturity Inventory Form C (CMI-C), and a demographic questionnaire were completed by NCAA Division I student-athletes who were members of 15 different nonrevenue sports. Latent variable regression analysis was used to address the research questions. Athletic identity was found to be a statistically significant, negative predictor of career maturity, whereby career maturity decreased as athletic identity increased, but a similar relationship between identity foreclosure and career maturity was not discovered. However, a positive correlation between athletic identity and identity foreclosure was found, along with an indirect effect of identity foreclosure on career maturity (with athletic identity as the mediating variable). Additionally, gender, year in school, performance level, and expectations of becoming a professional athlete were not found to moderate the relationships between athletic identity and career maturity, and between identity foreclosure and career maturity. Overall, the current study's findings indicate that athletic identity is an important construct to consider in the career development process of nonrevenue-producing sport student-athletes. The study's limitations are discussed, as well as suggestions for future research.

Download or read book Developing and Supporting Athlete Wellbeing written by Natalie Campbell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneering book in elite athlete wellbeing brings together the narratives of athletes and wellbeing practitioners in high-performance sport with cutting-edge theorizing from world-leading academics to explore pertinent mental wellbeing matters that present for elite athletes both during and after their careers. The journey of the elite athlete is considered from entering the high-performance system as a youth performer through to retirement, with contributions illuminating the ways in which mental wellbeing can be impacted – both negatively and positively – through common place experiences. Methods of creating holistic high-performance sports cultures along with common mental wellbeing influencers, such as parents, education, faith, injury and (de)selection are explored, as well as the ramifications of uncommon events on mental wellbeing, such as whistleblowing, legal disputes, psychological disorders and COVID-19. Drawing on this analysis, the book then proffers thought-provoking strategies for how the mental wellbeing of both athletes and staff can be understood, developed and supported, ultimately driving elite sport cultural transformation to put the person first and the athlete second. Each chapter presents the wellbeing experience from the vantage of the athlete or the wellbeing practitioner, followed by an academic unpacking of the situation. This makes the book a must read for students and researchers working in sport coaching, sport psychology, applied sport science or sport management, as well as practitioners interested in facilitating a duty of care for high performing athletes, and working in coaching, sport science support, athlete development programs, NGB policy and administration or welfare services.

Book Synopsis Routledge Handbook of Applied Sport Psychology by : David Tod
Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Applied Sport Psychology written by David Tod and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-10-18 with total page 807 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now available in paperback, the Routledge Handbook of Applied Sport Psychology is a definitive guide to the theory and practice of applied sport psychology. It goes further than any other book in surveying the full variety of issues that practising sport psychologists will confront in their working lives. It introduces the most important tools and skills that psychologists will need to be truly helpful to their clients, and it also adopts a holistic definition of the role of the sport psychologist, explaining how effective counseling, assessment, and therapeutic models can add important extra dimensions to professional practice. The book is divided into seven thematic sections, addressing: counseling; assessment; theoretical and therapeutic models; issues for the individual athlete, from injury and overtraining to depression; issues for teams, from conflict resolution to travel; working with special populations; mental skills, such as imagery, goal setting, and concentration. Moving beyond the traditional tracks of clinical psychology and performance enhancement, the authors in this book argue convincingly that psychologists would benefit from attempting to understand athletes’ social and familial contexts, their health, happiness, and interpersonal dynamics in the broadest sense, if they are to serve their clients’ best interests. With contributions from many of the world’s leading sport psychologists, and with clear descriptions of best practice in each chapter, the Routledge Handbook of Applied Sport Psychology is essential reading for all serious students and practitioners of sport psychology, counseling, applied sport science, health psychology, and related fields.
Book Synopsis From Enclosure to Exposure to Enactment by : Devin Leslie Walker
Download or read book From Enclosure to Exposure to Enactment written by Devin Leslie Walker and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This phenomenological study explores the experiences of 20 Division I Black student-athletes who took part in international educational experiences as part of their collegiate careers, as well as the subsequent influence of these experiences on their identities and future orientation. This study utilizes the theoretical framework of Critical Race Theory (CRT) as well as the concept of figured worlds as described by Holland, Lachicotte, Skinner and Cain (1998). Many Black student-athletes suffer from identity foreclosure as they fail to develop salient aspects of their identity outside of the athlete role. International education proffers the opportunity to take advantage of a holistic collegiate experience, which can impede the detrimental effects of the athletic identity foreclosure process that disproportionately affects Black student-athletes. Education abroad can influence student-athletes’ personal, academic, and professional development while stimulating their critical consciousness of the world beyond the gym and campus. The number of college students in international education is increasing. However, most student-athletes are not given access to these opportunities. The 2016 NCAA Goals report highlighted student-athletes desire to have access to international education opportunities. The value of these student-athletes is critical the financial well-being of these institutions, yet they are often denied the invaluable opportunity to experience education abroad. This dissertation examines the process of identity negotiation and development that Black student-athletes experience as they partake in three types of international education: 1) Study Abroad, 2) Competition Abroad, and 3) Service-learning Abroad. This study is solution-oriented. The findings reveal that international education serves as an extracurricular learning experience that enhances the process of identity development and negotiation for Black student-athletes, diminishing the detrimental impact of identity foreclosure. There international learning experiences shaped their future orientation and positively influenced their ability to navigate their lives and careers after their playing days ended

Book Synopsis Identity and Career Maturity in Kinesiology Students by : Malia Johnson

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore athletic identity, identity foreclosure, and career maturity in a sample of undergraduate college students currently enrolled in kinesiology and physical education classes at a university in the southern United States. Students were provided with an internet link that requested them to complete a demographic survey, the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS), the foreclosure subscale of the Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status, and the Attitude Scale (Form A-2) of the Career Maturity Inventory. Examination of the Pearson moment correlations indicated that the higher the sport participation during high school, the greater the athletic identity and identity foreclosure, and lower the career maturity attitudes. ANOVAs were performed to examine differences between males (n = 123) and females (n = 183), kinesiology (n = 181) and non-kinesiology majors (n = 125), and white (n = 144) and non-white students (n = 162) on athletic identity, identity foreclosure, and career maturity. Results showed that males scored significantly higher on athletic identity and identity foreclosure, and significantly lower on career maturity than females. Kinesiology students had scores significantly higher on athletic identity and identity foreclosure, and lower on career maturity. Finally, individuals that identified their ethnicity as White had higher athletic identity, lower identity foreclosure, and significantly higher career maturity than individuals who identified as an ethnicity other than white. Although the relationships in this study are in line with what has been found in previous research, the relationships among this sample of undergraduate students were weak. Future research should replicate the study using a measurable level of sport skill level. Future research should also consider introducing an intervention with a career development program, and track participants' athletic identity, identity foreclosure, and career mature before, during, and after implementation of the program.

Book excerpt: 2018 DIGITAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST FOR BEST SOCIAL IMPACT BOOK The student-athlete's life: practice, gym, weight room, film review, repeat. Simply put, sports come first. Academics is a distant second. As the revenues generated by big-time college sports continue to skyrocket, virtually all of the debate involves whether (and how much) student-athletes should be paid for play. Kenneth L. Shropshire and Collin D. Williams, Jr., argue that "student" has to come first in student-athlete: the focus should be on prioritizing a meaningful education. In The Miseducation of the Student Athlete: How to Fix College Sports, Shropshire and Williams draw on new research to reveal that it has become increasingly difficult for college athletes to balance school and sports, much less a social life, leading to serious economic, professional, and emotional consequences for young people. Given that fewer than 2% of all college men's basketball and football players will play at the professional level, the other 98% of student-athletes must be prepared to find and perform well in jobs outside of their respective field of play. In this bold call to action, Shropshire and Williams explain how we got here and what can be done about it. They lay out The Student-Athlete Manifesto, a roadmap to increase the likelihood that student-athletes can succeed both on and off the field. They also offer a Meaningful Degree Model, which ensures education pays for everyone, along with stories of success that show it is possible to be both a student and an athlete. A critical read for student-athletes, sports leadership, policy makers, and anyone who loves college sports, The Miseducation of the Student Athlete has the potential to disrupt college sport and create lasting change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fans, athletes, and coaches, the experience of intercollegiate competition is quite powerful. While most fans may cheer less enthusiastically for women's sports, female athletes are no less skilled or dedicated to their sport. Unfortunately, female athletes usually do not have a future beyond college and continue to play just for the love of the game. Despite the increased visibility of Olympic softball, college softball players have little prospects of playing professionally. College is a time in life where students create and maintain their personal identities, but serious athletes develop their identities as they also develop and sustain a physical and psychological commitment to sport; college softball players are no different. This internalized self-concept influences every other area in an athlete's life. With the conclusion of athletic eligibility, student-athletes find themselves in transition from being a current member of a team to a former membership status. Like most athletes, when a female softball player retires from competition they experience a loss of identity, find little guidance or support from their coaches and college administrative staff, and are usually left to figure things out on their own. Employing the theory of identity foreclosure, this study draws on semi-structured interviews to explore athletes' experiences of being National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I softball players as they transition out of collegiate athletics. The themes (a) "losing my identity," (b) "of course I'm a softball player," (c) "family, friends and coaches influence me," (d) "my schedule keeps me busy," (e) "no one there to help me," and (f) "what happens next" illustrate that improved communication between collegiate softball players and their parents, coaches, and peers is needed to encourage the exploration of other identities. As identity foreclosure is part and parcel of becoming an elite athlete, the NCAA is responsible for creating programs to help participating athletes develop a healthy transition out of their college career.
Book Synopsis A Figured Worlds Approach to Identity and Agency for College Student Athletes by : Sarah Malcolm
Download or read book A Figured Worlds Approach to Identity and Agency for College Student Athletes written by Sarah Malcolm and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purposes of this study were to examine the effectiveness of tutoring from the Matador Achievement Center (MAC) for student athletes and explore student athletes' identity with athletics and academics. As part of an exploratory sequential mixed-method design, study 1 was completed by using secondary data analysis from the MAC, and study 2 was a case study through interviews. The data from each of these studies are not able to be connected directly, but they provided complementary information to inform future research and program development. For study 1, I hypothesized that student athletes who participated in the MAC would experience positive GPA changes over time and student athletes' GPA would be lower during semesters when their sport(s) was (were) in-season than compared to semesters out-of-season. The archival data included 567 student athletes' records from fall 2013 and spring 2015. The case study had three first year student athletes and they were interviewed about their athletic and academic history. Study 1 indicated that tutoring alone was not enough to increase student athletes' GPA overtime. Study 2 examined how student athletes balanced their roles with athletics and academics as related to identity and agency using a "figured worlds" approach (Holland Lachicotte, Skinner & Cain, 1998). The major findings were that student athletes were not as identified with or committed to their academic development as their athletic development. The student athletes tended to be more motivated with athletics than academics, and they were motivated to play in professional athletics. Lastly, student athletes reported that they experienced disempowerment related to their athletic identity in the classroom when following procedures on the first day of classes. The MAC and faculty liaisons should collaborate to find ways to ensure that the policy serves the necessary functions without putting students in a position of potentially receiving bias. Student athletes seemed that they did not have anything equivalent in academics to a support system they get from athletics.
