Download or read book The Exploration of Adjustment During the Retirement Transition from Collegiate Athletics written by Olivia Alison Knizek and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenges that face student-athletes when they retire from formal sport participation coincides with their loss of their athletic identity (how much they identify with their athlete role), often geographic upheaval, uncertainty of the future regarding alternate roles, and change in social support systems, which make this period more difficult to adjust to. This study explored the experiences of the retirement transition of graduating student-athletes. The current study aims to examine this unique experience through qualitative investigation into the collective experiences of student-athletes to identify overarching relevant themes common throughout this experience. The participants were 13 student-athletes who graduated in the Spring Semester of 2017 (May- June 2017), played their sport at a National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) Institution at the Varsity level, and were not continuing to play their sport at the elite level. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants between five and eight months post-graduation. Thematic analysis was used to categorize participants' responses and allow for an in-depth investigation of different factors affecting personal adjustment throughout this period. The five overarching themes identified were: the need for social connection, the impact of a goal-oriented mindset, preparedness for the transition, translatable skills from being a student-athlete, and the perspective of their own identity and purpose. The ability to shift perspective to retrospectively appreciate the student-athlete experience, while incorporating it as one part of their overall life journey, is discussed as a protective factor for positive transition outcomes. As the large majority of collegiate athletes do not continue to play their sport professionally, this population is in high need of continued guidance. The present work can inform interventions to aid student-athletes in this difficult transitional period. Mentorship from previously graduated student-athletes, coaches, or administrative programs are suggested as a tangible positive intervention strategy based off of the results.

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 2017 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student athletes who are transitioning from player and participant may experience challenges as they move to life after being an athlete. Some struggle with depression and they may lack the coping strategies to manage life after athletics. Adults who work with student athletes need strategies to help athletes transition to life after sports. Healthier, more generalizable options to cope with positive transitions from high-performance sport are included to help with self-image, substance abuse and grieving the loss of being a former athlete. Proactive approaches to retirement include pre-retirement planning, maintaining a life-balance, and setting career or educational goals.

Download or read book The Out-of-sport Transition Experience of NCAA Athletes: a Systematic Review written by Stephanie Tuncel and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 2018-2019 academic year, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) reported 1,004,450 student-athletes across Division I, II, and III universities. Of these athletes, only a small percentage will go on to play at a professional level. The majority of these student-athletes will go through an out-of-sport transition that, without proper preparation, can result in a variety of psychosocial difficulties. However, there are opportunities for student-athletes, athletic departments, academic departments, and psychological counseling centers to target different factors that could increase the likelihood of experiencing a positive out-of-sport transition. The focus of this systematic review was to address two primary research questions: (1) What risk and protective factors make the out-of-sport transition more manageable or difficult for NCAA athletes? and (2) what intervention programs are universities implementing to help student-athletes prepare for this transition? To present the findings for these questions, a mixed-methods methodological approach was utilized. Results are presented through a narrative synthesis to ensure easy accessibility and comprehension of the material by athletes and university officials. This systematic review joins emerging literature that recognizes the uniqueness of the college years and experiences and acknowledges the need to do more to prepare and protect student-athletes.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collegiate student-athletes have a unique experience that is different in many ways from non-athlete students within the college environment. Student-athletes form a distinct subculture within the greater college culture (Shulman & Bowen, 2001). During the 2012-13 academic year, there were 463,202 student-athletes; however, less than 2% of all collegiate student-athletes will advance to the professional levels (NCAA, 2013 Sept.; NCAA, 2013 Oct.). This leaves the overwhelming majority of student-athletes with the task of transitioning to life beyond athletics, despite much time, mental and physical effort devoted to fostering an athletic identity. Due to the time and energy demands placed on elite college athletes (i.e., NCAA Division I student-athletes), they may have less opportunity to explore and develop alternative identities and career paths. The NCAA has several systems of support to foster student-athlete well-being; however, there appears to be a lack in recognition of the potential difficulty student-athletes may have in transitioning to life beyond collegiate athletics. There also appears to be a lack in discussion of how to best assist student-athletes in this transition upon completion of their collegiate athletic career. Seeking to provide a resource in an area that has not been sufficiently addressed, a program is proposed to assist student-athletes transition to life beyond athletics, entitled Success Through Athletics. Utilizing the format of a logic model (Savaya & Waysman, 2005), the current program incorporates knowledge of the unique experience of student-athletes, as well as literature on transitions and developmental theory specific to student-athletes, and is intended for implementation within an athletic department over the initial four years of a student-athletes collegiate career. The overarching structure of the four year Success Through Athletics program is as follows: (a) year one, goal development and encouragement of dualistic thinking; (b) year two, skills identification and movement toward multiplistic thinking; (c) year three, values identification and continued development of multiplistic thinking; and (d) year four, self-awareness and movement toward relativistic thinking.

Book excerpt: The first year of college is one of the most difficult transitions that a student encounters (Giddan, 1988). The Santa Monica College Student-Athlete Transition Assistance Handbook is a guide for Freshman Student-Athletes during their transition into Santa Monica College. The manual provides athletes insights into coping strategies and resources that can be used to manage negative stress. The information collected on stress and coping strategies was based on literature found during the research process. The specifics on coping resources offered at Santa Monica College were collected during the Fall Semester by visiting the various student service centers on campus. The creation of the complete compilation of resources in this handbook was accomplished through obtaining informational packets and conversing with staff at each center. The handbook itself outlines the various stress and coping strategies and resources, and then provides four example scenarios of student-athletes encountering stressors in various areas of their lives. Each example highlights certain stressors, and provides concrete ways that the student-athlete can apply strategies and resources so that they can manage their negative stress. There are many sources of negative stress, and more coping strategies than are listed in the handbook. Future projects can expand upon this handbook and provide programs that athletics can use to improve various components of transition, like leadership and new teammate on-boarding programs.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to measure student-athlete's awareness of transferable skills, identify what skills are most transferable, and identify the resources available to aid student-athletes in the transition from athletic career retirement to a non-athletic career setting. A modified version of McKnight's (2007) survey was used to collect data regarding student-athlete awareness of career transition and transferable skills. One hundred and sixty student-athletes participated in the survey, which was comprised of three parts: (a) transferable skills, (b) career transition, and (c) demographic information. A quantitative approach utilized descriptive statistics to identify student-athlete's awareness of transferable skills, the most frequently reported transferable skills, and the resources that aid in the acquirement of transferable skills and transition from athletic career retirement to a non-athletic career setting. The theoretical framework of the Model of Transition (Schlossberg, 1981) and Life Development Intervention (LDI) (Mayocchi and Hanrahan, 2000) was used to explain the factors that influence transition and role of transferable skills while transitioning out of sport. The findings are consistent with previous research stated in the literature, indicating student-athletes are highly aware of transferable skills. The student-athletes who participated in this study also determined strong work ethic as the most frequently reported transferable skill. Family members and athletics department personnel such as coaches and student-athlete development staff were identified as the most useful resources for aiding in the acquirement of transferable skills and transition from athletic career retirement to a non-athletic career setting.

Download or read book Examination of Student-Athletes' Developmental Transition from Youth Sport to College Sport written by Coleman Childers and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
