While all college students must learn to negotiate the complex transition from high school to college, student athletes face unique challenges, including the complicated set of regulations set out by the NCAA and individual conferences that determine eligibility. The current environment in college athletics makes it even more critical that student athletes understand what they need to do academically and how to avoid potential situations that could jeopardize their athletic careers. College Knowledge for the Student Athlete is a road map and tour guide for a successful career as a student athlete.

Book Synopsis The Miseducation of the Student Athlete by : Kenneth L. Shropshire
Download or read book The Miseducation of the Student Athlete written by Kenneth L. Shropshire and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2017-07-11 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book Synopsis Knowledge Is Power by : Cheri Spigner
Download or read book Knowledge Is Power written by Cheri Spigner and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Several individuals in the coaching and education community are actively engaging in an action research project. The goal of the project is to implement a system or policy that will integrate a process in the school districts that will inform all potential student athletes of the requirements necessary to meet NCAA academic requirements. The project came about in this formal way because of the need to fulfill a requirement for a Masters in Leadership degree at Saint Mary's College of California. The action research approach was a thorough approach in looking at ways to address the knowledge gap between the NCAA and potential student athletes. I assembled a group of individuals with varied experiences with the NCAA Eligibility Center. None of the individuals were familiar with the action research method. The individuals who participated in this research process were either college coaches who were recruiting these potential student athletes who would have had to meet these eligibility process, high school coaches who interact with these potential college bound student athletes, a board of education member who could give us insight into district policy and or requirements, student athletes who either fulfilled the requirements or were disqualified from the, the athletic commissioner for a school district, a parent of a student athlete who is also in education administration and me who was also a parent of two student athletes. We all came together in order to create sustainable organization change in the district to address the needs of student athletes. For the purposes of this project, four cycles were completed. Because of this action research process, we have learned that this project is extremely complex and we have a thorough approach to a comprehensive solution that will require further work."--Abstract, p. 1.
Book Synopsis College Student-Athletes by : Michael T. Miller
Download or read book College Student-Athletes written by Michael T. Miller and published by IAP. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a critical and objective study of the contemporary college student athlete. Framed around the process of recruitment, transition, and support of student athletes in higher education, the volume is a response to societal pressures to reform college athletics. Driven by publicity and the potential for revenue gains, colleges and universities have invested heavily in developing athletic programs, coaches, and facilities. Yet few resources are invested strategically in the personal and intellectual development of student athletes. Written by a team of authors with first-hand experience working with student athletes and transitional programs, the volume argues that institutional attention must be directed at caring for the personal and intellectual growth of student athletes. Highlighting some best-practice curricula and exploring the psychological issues surrounding participating in often highly-competitive athletics, the authors consistently conclude that institutional responsibility is of the utmost and immediate importance. Authors also consider the unique settings of student athletes in community and private liberal arts colleges, demonstrating the broad interest in athletics and institutional competition. The result is an important volume that will be of interest to those who counsel and administer intercollegiate athletic programs, faculty and researchers looking for insightful baseline data on the contemporary student athlete, and those concerned with transitional programs and the future of higher education.
