Book excerpt: Collegiate athletes have spent their athletic career growing their athletic identity and are given significant support throughout their time in college, and so, the transition into retirement can be difficult and often cause a sense of loss with the end of their athletic career. This transition from college into sports retirement can be affected by a variety of different factors and influences on the individual and their experiences. This mixed methods, phenomenological study looked at the impact of athletic identity on both male and female athletes as they transitioned into retirement, focusing on Division I baseball and softball athletes. These participants were asked to answer the AIMS-Plus questionnaire and participate in an open-ended interview looking retrospectively at their collegiate career and transition into retirement. The results of the AIMS-Plus questionnaires revealed five athletes with high athletic identity (scores 1467-2200), three females and two males, and five athletes with moderate athletic identity (scores 1466-733), three males and two females. The data analysis of the interviews found the common positive factors influencing an athletes transition were outside interests, support from family and teammates, and continued relationship with their sport. The negative factors were involuntary retirement, the time commitment of their college program, and the lack of support from their programs after retirement. Injury was found to be both a positive and negative factor in transitioning depending on the individuals' relationship with the injury. Participants with a higher athletic identity, scored through the AIMS-Plus questionnaire, used language of depression and reported a sense of loss. Some participants reported their athletic identity helping them transition into their next career, focusing on the skills they had learned through athletics. In the reflections of these participants it was found that they wished there was a program in place to aid them into retirement with emphasis on career planning, support groups, and nutrition and exercise education. In summary, the experiences of collegiate athletes transitioning into retirement is influenced by a variety of factors and highly individual. The clinical significance of this research should provide future research into implementing support programs for collegiate athletes transitioning into retirement.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intent of this research study was to determine the degree of influence that athletic identity had on the transitional experience of former collegiate athletes. Current research has suggested that athletes often experience adjustment difficulties when coping with retirement and lower rates of achieving career and life satisfaction outside of the sports environment. The primary focus of this study was to explore the relationship between athletic identity and the transition process for athletes after sports retirement. The data collected from this study indicate a relationship between athletic identity and the transitional experience outcomes of former collegiate athletes. Results of the study provide intercollegiate athletics practitioners with the implications of lessening the exclusiveness of athletic identity for this special group of students in order to improve an athlete's psychological disposition, career maturity and ability to achieve life satisfaction after sports retirement.

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the experiences of collegiate student-athletes who retired from athletics due to career-ending injury from a developmental perspective. Fifteen former collegiate athletes who retired from competition in NCAA Division I athletic programs participated in interviews. Interviews were guided by an interview protocol addressing topics considered relevant based on literature review: Athletic identity, experience of injury and leaving the sport, transitions upon retirement, friendships with teammates, participant resources, and current role of sports in their lives. Despite the existence of an interview protocol, interviews were loosely structured and topics discussed were open to participant influence. Broad themes derived from the data include: (1) modified, but enduring athletic identity, (2) increasing emphasis and development in academic and social dimensions of identity, and (3) varying extents to which participants perceived control over their decision to retire and the difference this appeared to make in their experiences. Themes are discussed in relation to prior literature and theoretical frameworks used to guide the study. Considerations for coaches, athletic trainers, counselors, student-athlete service personnel, and other professionals working with collegiate student-athletes retiring due to injury and suggestions for future research are included.

Book excerpt: The research seeks to understand and explain the impact, if any, on transition out of sport, based on the level of commitment to sport being a Collegiate Athlete. Interest for this study came from personal experience as an athlete, as well as knowing numerous athletes who have gone, or are going through, questioning their Identity once their playing days came to an end. This study includes extant literature discussing Athletic Identity. It offers a different perspective than other studies working through grief and loss after losing the ability to play a sport.

This book was released on 2024-04-17 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There appears to be a gap in the literature when it comes to examining the role that grief and loss might play while athletes undergo the reconstruction of their identity post-sport. Navigating Athletic Identity, Retirement Transitions, and Self-Discovery: Exiting the Arena investigates the long and often studied concept of identity in athletes from the perspective of transitioning identity as a potential form of loss. Ultimately, we posit that identity transition should also be understood as a form of identity loss, and research conceptualizing the grieving process that athletes experience in that transition should be studied more deeply.

Book excerpt: Despite there being plenty of research regarding identity, athletic identity, and athlete transition, there is limited research on assisting athletes with blending their athletic identity with other roles in their life. Most retired athletes have difficulties letting go of their athletic identity, creating a new non-athletic identity and getting a job. Olympic committees, professional sport organizations, and collegiate athletics have created different transition programs for their athletes to aid them in transitioning to their life upon athletic retirement by helping them realize skills learned from sport are transferrable into the workforce and other areas of life. Researchers have found that athletes should not let go of their athletic identity; but rather learn to blend their athletic identity with their other identities. The following examines the extent to which student-athletes identify with their athletic identity, athletic retirement symptoms, and current athlete transition programs. The end product is a four year curriculum geared towards college level student-athletes.

Book excerpt: "Introduction: Despite the substantial amount of literature on career transitions in sport, there is insufficient research examining the social support system within college athletics as it is an important resource for student-athletes, especially for their success later in life. Likewise, there are currently no studies exploring athletic retirement from the perspective of student-athlete support or development services, a section of athletic departments that provides programming for the success of their student-athletes. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the implications of athletic retirement from the perspective of directors and/or associate directors of student-athlete support or development services of NCAA Division I universities. Methods/Data Analysis: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants (n = 8) to explore their perceptions about the factors that lead to a successful or unsuccessful transition out of sport. Participants further described how their current services and programs helped student-athletes overcome the obstacles of this transitional period. Results: An inductive data analysis was used to organize participants' responses into themes and subthemes related to the original research questions. Although programming varied by institution, the participants observed that most of their student-athletes experienced a successful transition out of sport as their services and programs helped them effectively cope with the demands of athletic retirement. When participants did cite problems with the process of athletic retirement, they reported issues surrounding a salient athletic identity, such as a lack of career development, a sudden loss of the sport environment, and mental and physical health risks. Finally, participants believed that evidence-based services and programs need to be implemented to meet the needs of both current and former student-athletes. Implications for the programming of student-athlete support or development services and future research are discussed."--Boise State University ScholarWorks.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The current study aimed to measure the impact of athletic identity and vocational identity on Division III student-athlete thriving as they prepare to graduate from college and transition into the workforce. There is a paucity of research on this topic for the Division III student-athlete population as well as for research which evaluates positive psychological outcomes in collegiate student-athletes. This study aimed to fill the gap in the current literature on both counts. Quantitave methodology was used to assess 108 collegiate student-athletes from an NCAA mid- Atlantic Division III sport conference. The Athletic Identity Measurement Scale, the Vocational Identity Measure, and the Comprehensive Inventory of Thriving were used were used to evaluate the relationship of athletic identity, vocational, identity and thriving in this population. Data was analyzed using a stepwise regression model which yielded a moderate, significant, and positive relationship between vocational identity and thriving; removing athletic identity from the model all together. Past research also indicated that gender may play a role in student-athlete career maturity such that females tend to have more career maturity than males (Murphy, Petitpas, & Brewer, 1996); and have lower scores of depression and anxiety (Armstrong & Oomen-Early, 2009). Unlike past research, the current study found no significant gender differences across all variables. A reflection on these findings, implications, future research, and study limitations are discussed. " -- Abstract

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study focuses on 26 African American athletes and explores their perceptions of athletic career transition. Participants consisted of student athletes from a United States National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division IIA institution in the Southeastern region. Participants completed the Life After Sports Scale (LASS), a 58-item inventory utilized to qualitative domain of the LASS in which participants were visually primed with a narrative description of a student athlete that has made transition out of sport successfully. Five major themes emerged from the African American student athletes' perception of the career transition process: Inspirational Imagery Validation, Academic and Athletic Success, Classroom Accomplishments, Family Devotion, and Life After Sports. These themes are discussed in relation to relevant career development theories, athletic identity theory from the sport psychology literature, and applicable race and racial theories to sport in higher education. Future research directions and limitations are articulated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Athletes’ Careers Across Cultures is the first book of its kind to bring together a truly global spread of leading sports psychology career researchers and practitioners into one comprehensive resource. This extensive volume traces the evolution of athlete career research through a cultural lens and maps the complex topography of athletes’ careers across national boundaries exploring how social and cultural discourses shape their development. The area of athlete career development has traditionally been dominated by a Western perspective, an imbalance which has had a considerable influence on the shaping of career studies more generally. Stambulova and Ryba adopt a more culturally sensitive approach, offering a comprehensive analytical review of athlete career research and assistance in 19 different nations. The authors employ diverse theoretical, methodological and practical ideas to demonstrate how local knowledge enables a better understanding of the dynamics of cultural diversity within the field. Athletes’ Careers Across Cultures considers the ‘cultural praxis’ of athletes’ careers as a practical implication of the cultural turn. As such it will stimulate the development of culturally situated career research and assistance and be an invaluable and internationally relevant resource for academics, professionals and students working in sport and exercise psychology.

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 excerpt: The athlete is a mystery to many and the journey athletes encounter involve a number of complex events that over time can lead to unlimited success in and outside of the sporting environment. However being an athlete also brings on complex issues and requires a unique set of personal development services specifically developed and intended for the athlete.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine athletic identity and retirement from NCAA Division I intercollegiate athletics. Semi-structured interviews were used to explore former student-athletes intercollegiate experience and their transition out of sport. The findings revealed that retirement from intercollegiate athletics requires an individual to create new social networks, learn how to train without the structure and support of a team, and develop a new identity. Additionally, the study found that a strong support system and replacing the sport focus early in the process of retirement assisted with the transition from sport. Implications of the findings of the study are discussed and recommendations for future research are made.
