Book excerpt: The majority of research in developmental sport psychology has targeted the youth and adolescent age groups (aged five to 18) and has tended to avoid athletes in organized and highly competitive environment such as major college athletics. The transition from high school to college brings many challenges. Academically and socially, students encounter increased course rigor, decreased in-class time, and adjustment to new social groups. Additionally, student-athletes encounter scrutiny from the public, extensive time commitments, changing social dynamics, and physical and mental demands as they combine athletic and academic pursuits. This on-going study explores student-athletes' perspectives of the developmental transition from youth sport to collegiate sport; specifically looking at the influential experiences that student-athletes believe to have experienced and the development and transfer of psychological skills, leadership skills, and life skills from one level to the next in light of these experiences. An interpretivist, narrative approach was used to understand experiences and perceptions of student-athletes who recently completed their first year in college. Thirteen student-athletes participated in interviews that involved pictorializing a developmental timeline and responding to questions from a semi-structured interview guide. Narrative thematic analysis revealed categories, themes, and sub-themes across student-athletes from various sports. This study suggests that individuals that transition from youth sport to college sport are becoming culturally constructed "emerging-adult student-athletes", are prone to unique forms of environmental adversity due to their status as a student-athlete and are consistently faced with rapidly changing social dynamics. In light of this, student-athletes believed to have developed and/or strengthened important psychological and life skills due to their unique transition from youth sport to college sport. This study provides evidence that student-athletes emerging into adulthood within an athletic context experience especially challenging circumstance. Furthermore, most influential developmental transitions involved adversity. Additionally, student-athletes sought external resources and support in addition to implicitly developing psychological and life skills. The findings of this study will be able to provide insight to produce educational resources that can cultivate a smoother transition in to collegiate sports for not only the student-athletes, but parents, coaches, and support staff as well.

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.

Book excerpt: Athletic Development offers a rare opportunity to learn and apply a career full of knowledge from the best. World-renowned strength and conditioning coach Vern Gambetta condenses the wisdom he's gained through more than 40 years of experience of working with athletes across sports, age groups, and levels of competition, including members of the Chicago White Sox, New York Mets, and U.S. men's 1998 World Cup soccer team. The result is an information-packed, myth-busting explanation of the most effective methods and prescriptions in each facet of an athlete's physical preparation. Gambetta includes never-before-published and ready-to-use training approaches in - sport-specific demands analysis, - work capacity enhancements, - movement skills development, - long- and short-term training program progressions, and - rest and regeneration techniques. Athletic Development explains what works, what doesn't, and why. Gambetta's no-nonsense approach emphasizes results that pay off in the competitive season and reflect his work at the highest echelons of sport. Merging principles of anatomy, biomechanics, and exercise physiology with sports conditioning applications and four decades of professional practice, this is the definitive guide to performance-enhancing training.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing field of sport and exercise psychology offers an abundance of opportunities for clinical practice. For instance, a sport and exercise psychologist might work with elite or professional athletes, use exercise therapeutically with clients, conduct workshops for parents and youth sport coaches, or implement a community-based physical activity intervention. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the field of sport and exercise psychology. Several chapters review common performance enhancement interventions, including goal setting, imagery, cognitive strategies, intensity regulation, and modelling. Additional chapters review interventions for health and well-being. Recommendations are provided for assessing, treating, and referring clients with psychopathology, and considerations pertaining to special populations are also detailed, including work with youth sport participants, college student-athletes, elite athletes, and culturally diverse groups. The book concludes with a discussion of professional issues in sport and exercise psychology, including education, certification, how to integrate this specialty into existing clinical practice, and the unique ethical challenges of working in this area. With its comprehensive scope and emphasis on both research and application, this book is a rich resource for both practitioners and students interested in learning more about applying psychology in sport and exercise settings.

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.

Book excerpt: Elevating Your Potential is an inspiring, informative book designed to teach student athletes how to find the bigger purpose behind their sport and to equip them to succeed in college and beyond. Attending practices and competitions. Pursuing a degree. Living on your own. Preparing for the future. Once you enter college, you'll quickly realize that if you don't find a way to manage your student-athlete balance, you'll get burned out and something will fall behind. How do you prepare for this transition? Jeremiah Gaines, M. Ed, takes his combined experience as a Division 1 athlete and college educator to break down the different components of a college athlete's career and push student athletes to work for the bigger picture of college athletics. In this book, Gaines will discuss: the recruitment and application process, scholarships and choosing your school, money management on a college budget, the need to balance athletics with academics, how to be the best teammate on and off the field, and gathering the resources needed to succeed beyond college. No matter your chosen sport or future plans either in the world of business or as a professional athlete, college is meant to be a stepping stone to that future. With a thorough game plan on how to best prepare, communicate, and execute, you'll enter the college arena with a fast start and strong finish. A coach once told Gaines, "Most of the time, student athletes put all of their efforts into getting the chance to 'make it, ' but then once they're actually there, they're not prepared for it. Then the opportunity is gone before they even realize what happened." That's not going to be your story. You're not just going to make it-you're going to elevate above the competition and thrive.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student-athletes will experience normative and non-normative transitions out of their sport. During non-normative transitions, student-athletes may utilize negative strategies to cope with the discontinuation of their athletic career. These negative coping behaviors range from self-medication through drugs and alcohol, self-harm, or mental and emotional disengagement. These negative behaviors could be a result of the loss of sense of belonging, purpose, and social support that student-athletes experience when involuntarily transitioning out of their athletic identity. Having a strong athletic identity and sense of belonging in their sport can prevent student-athletes from engaging in or exploring other interests outside of their sport, such as leisure or recreational activities. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between athletic identity and leisure coping strategies during and after non-normative life events that end student-athlete participation in their sport.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The community college has become a popular way for student-athletes to attain Division I athletic eligibility; students both begin their postsecondary education at the community college or use the community college as an intermediary path of transfer. Community college transfer student-athletes are a unique subpopulation within collegiate athletics. Using the theoretical frameworks of Transfer Student Capital and Liminality Theory, this study used individual interviews to examine the lived experiences, challenges and perceptions of community college transfer student-athletes. Participants of this study provided information about the context of community college for student-athletes, the manner in which athletics influences their motivation, decision and ability to transfer to a Division I university, as well as the actual process of successful transfer. Implementing a grounded theory approach to analysis, the Community College Transfer Student-Athlete Model (CCTSAM) was created to depict the five major themes emergent from data; Community College Culture, The Role of Relationships, “Doing Whatever It Takes” to Persevere Through, Blind Spots: Navigating an Unclear Path, and Between Two Worlds: The Ambiguity of Transition. Research findings can be used to build better transfer support processes and procedures for community college and Division I institutions.

Book excerpt: Researchers and administrators have investigated the educational and developmental outcomes of participation in college and university sport for over 80 years (Curtis & McTeer, 1990). Unfortunately, empirical results are negligible, even contradictory. Some findings support the educational and developmental value of university sport (Curtis & McTeer, 1990; Henschen & Fry, 1984; Pascarella & Smart, 1991; Ryan, 1989), others oppose it (Adler & Adler, 1985, 1987, 1991; Blinde, 1989; Danylchuk, 1995; Eitzen & Purdy, 1986; Leonard, 1986; Martens, 1985). The purpose of the current study was to explore the psychosocial development of Canadian student-athletes across university using a qualitative methodology. Multiple in-depth interviews were conducted with eight male and female university athletes. Inductive analysis following procedures outlined by Côté, Salmela and Russell (1995) was conducted and revealed two higher order categories, developmental processes and developmental outcomes. Developmental processes described the change and interrelationships between three major spheres in the lives of the participants: the athletic, academic and social spheres. Developmental outcomes reflected the participants' progress or lack thereof on a range of age-appropriate developmental challenges. Both are reviewed in relation to the educational and developmental literature related to intercollegiate athletics. Implications for youth sport in Canada are discussed.

Book excerpt: Limited research is available on student-athlete development and its effectiveness on the lives of student-athletes. In 1991, the NCAA created an optional program to further support the student-athletes: Challenging Athletes' Minds for Personal Success (CHAMPS/Life Skills Program). By creating this program, the NCAA admitted that student-athletes needed to be involved in other activities in addition to athletic competitions. The CHAMPS/Life Skills program was then introduced to all institutions across the country to provide additional support for their student-athletes. The purpose of this study is to provide a list of model practices in the following areas of student-athlete development programs: student-athlete leadership, career development, student-athlete engagement, community service, outreach, and student-athlete enhancement. It will also help other institutions that are falling short in helping their student-athletes by offering suggestions for improvement. To take it even a step further, this study will determine what impact the student-athlete development programs have on the lives of student-athletes after graduation. To achieve this, I conducted semi-structured interviews with eight student-athlete development professionals from Division I institutions. I used thematic coding to analyze the data. The analysis resulted in four domains: Model Practices, Student-Athlete Development Professional, Additional Support, and Student-Athlete Transition. Within the four domains are thirteen categories. I provide implications about model practices in student-athlete development and their importance in Division I intercollegiate athletics, the responsibility and skills necessary to be successful as a student-athlete development professional, and the step that student-athletes struggle with the most while transitioning into college and out of college.
