Download or read book Motivational Factors Influencing International Student-athletes to Participate in the National Collegiate Athletic Association written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research seeks to determine which motivational factors influence international student athletes in committing to an American institution in order to participate in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The study will examine which factors play an important role in college choice for these individuals. Most research indicates that the primary motivation for international student-athletes to come to American colleges is to receive an education while being on athletic scholarships (Bale, 1991, Ridinger, 1996; Stidwell, 1984). The research will serve to support previous findings and to reveal other motivational factors which influence college choice for international student-athletes. By exploratory factor analysis the major influences which play a role in the student-athlete's decision to commit to an American university or college will be identified. Due to the controversial and opinionated nature of the topic of international student-athletes, the need for research is supported. Questionnaires will be conducted online by both male and female international student-athletes participating in all NCAA sports at universities and colleges of three BCS Conferences. Data on motivational factors will be collected in order to identify which motives drive athletes to participate in their respective NCAA institutions. Once the questionnaires are collected, the major motivational factors will be identified and comparisons of findings will be made between male and female athletes and athletes participating in different sports. Expected results should support previous findings that student-athletes are influenced highly by academic factors, as well as by the chance to participate in highly competitive leagues (Bale, 1991; Garbert, Hale & Montalyo, 1999). Literature on international student-athletes is limited and due to the increase in numbers and popularity of recruiting international athletes to the NCAA, it is important to examine the issues concerning the topic. Without knowing why the international student-athletes come to American colleges and universities, recruiting could become more challenging and retaining these students through matriculation of their degree could become difficult. This study will provide a significant contribution to the literature regarding influencing factors in college choice and will be vital to athletic departments at NCAA institutions in order to aid in recruiting international student-athletes.
Book Synopsis Determinate Factors Affecting the Selection Process of National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Institutions by Student-athletes by : Tatiana K. Nikitina
Download or read book Determinate Factors Affecting the Selection Process of National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Institutions by Student-athletes written by Tatiana K. Nikitina and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Every year, college coaching staffs spend numerous hours tracking and recruiting prospective student-athletes. Recruitment and retention of student-athletes are among the most important tasks of a college coach. The National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) in 2017 reported that there were 36,411 male student-athletes and 22,785 female student-athletes in 26 sports. Surprisingly, only two studies have been conducted with this population regarding the recruitment process. This knowledge gap prevents coaches from building a marketing plan that will help them successfully recruit and retain student-athletes. Purpose: This study examined the college selection process and identified the most important factors influencing NJCAA student-athletes in the college selection process. Methods: An invitation letter was sent to athletic directors of NJCAA institutions together with the College Selection Process Scale (CSPS). Athletic directors invited their student-athletes to participate in the study. One hundred and sixty-three student-athletes from Division I NJCAA Colleges took part in this study. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to examine the factor structure of the CSPS. A one-way MANOVA was used to examine the gender effect on Athletic Experience, Athletic Program, Academics, and Outside Influence. Results: Results of the EFA indicated that the CSPS should include: Athletic Experience (5 items), Athletic Program (6 items), Academics (6 items), and Outside Influence (6 items). These four factors explained 52.6% of the total variance, and their Cronbach alpha coefficients were .775, .869, .880, and .804, respectively. Results of the one-way MANOVA indicated the model was significant (p = .002) with a medium to large effect size and huge power (Wilks's Î) = .893, partial Îʺ2 = .107, power = .929). Post-hoc univariate ANOVAs showed that females had significantly higher Outside Influence mean scores than males. Conclusion: The results showed a new trend in factors influencing the college selection process. Overall, the five most important items (academic support, degree leading to a good job, institution offered an academic program of interest, academic reputation of the department of your desired major, and level of competition) should create a basis for coaches' marketing and recruiting strategies to successfully recruit student-athletes of a specific gender.
Book Synopsis Finding Meaning in the College Choice Process of NCAA Division III Female Basketball Student Athletes by : Kimberly L. Fierke
Download or read book Finding Meaning in the College Choice Process of NCAA Division III Female Basketball Student Athletes written by Kimberly L. Fierke and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study was designed to understand the meaning behind the factors that influenced recruited NCAA Division III female basketball student athletes when choosing which institution to attend. A questionnaire, interview, and focus group were used in this phenomenological study to gather data from ten first year women basketball players at three NCAA Division III institutions located in the Southeast. The students ranked location of college, coaching staff, campus visit, academic reputation and potential playing time as the most popular factors influencing college choice. The crux of this research lies in the relationship between each student athlete and the college coach. Every participant was introduced to their current institution through the women's basketball coach. The influence of the coach, the feeling of the campus, coupled with the financial aid package inspired matriculation to their current institution.

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.

Book Synopsis The Relationship Between Academic Profile and Athletic Department Competitive Success at National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III Private Colleges and Universities by : Nicole Fennern

This book was released on 2017 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little to no research has been conducted examining the factors contributing to athletic department competitive success in NCAA Division III intercollegiate athletics. Several studies have linked student-athlete institutional choice factors to academic factors, while Division III student-athletes have indicated that both athletic and academic programs are important in their college choice (Goss, Jubenville, & Oregan, 2006; Konnert & Giese, 1987; National Collegiate Athletic Association, 2008; National Collegiate Athletic Association Research, 2011; National Collegiate Athletic Association Research, 2016). The NCAA Division III philosophy states that student-athletes should be integrated into the whole of the institution, not treated differently than non-student-athletes, and that admissions standards should be the same for student-athletes as they are for non-student-athletes (Stubbeman & Cooper, 2015). This research examined the relationship between institutional academic profile and athletic department competitive success. Academic profile was measured through institutional selectivity (acceptance rates), caliber of incoming students (ACT/SAT scores), four-year graduation rates, and retention rates (first to second year of enrollment). Athletic department competitive success was measured by the institution's placement in the Learfield Sports Directors Cup (LSDC). Spearman rank correlation was used to examine each independent variable against the institution's points earned in the LSDC. Positive relationships were found between each independent variable and points earned in the LSDC - ranging from -.306 to .563. These positive relationships present various implications and considerations for institutional administration and coaches to consider in recruiting student-athletes and setting expectations for competitive success.
