Download or read book Navigating Athletic Identity, Retirement Transitions, and Self-Discovery written by Gary Senecal and published by Lexington Books. 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.

Download or read book Examining Identity in Sports Media written by Heather L. Hundley and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2009-05-12 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Including the work of top sports communication researchers, Examining Identity in Sports Media explores identity issues, including gender, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, and (dis)ability, as well as the intersections within these various identity issues. This co-edited, twelve-chapter book investigates how various identity groups are framed, treated, affected, and shaped by a ubiquitous sports media, including television, magazines, film, the Internet, and newspapers. While other books may devote a chapter or section to issues of identity in sports media, this book offers a complete examination of identity from cover to cover, allowing identity variables to be both isolated and intermingled to capture how identity is negotiated within sports media platforms. Far more than a series of case studies, this book surveys the current state of the field while providing insight on future directions for identity scholarship in sports communication. Examining Identity in Sports Media is ideal for undergraduate or graduate-level courses in Sports Communication, Sports Media, Media Criticism, Sports Sociology, Gender Communication, and Identity Politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using everyday sporting experiences as a foundation, Suzanne Stefanowski Hudd lays out a set of informal rules that athletic team members learn to uphold. Prescribed within the “athlete’s covenant,” these guidelines support the transformation of the player’s individual commitment to hard work into a set of collective, role-related obligations that are applicable across time and sport. Hudd’s analysis highlights sportsmanship as it is practiced daily, flowing naturally from the mimicry and synchrony that players routinely use to perfect their talents. Working to turn star players into team players, the covenant encourages athletes to set their sights on goals that surpass what their individual talents alone can provide. Hudd theorizes our waning commitment to these important collectivistic properties of sport has contributed to the belief that sportsmanship is a thing of the past.

Download or read book An Examination of the Relationship Between Athletic Identity and Well-being as Moderated by Campus Involvement in Division III College Student-athletes written by Lauren C. Yurish and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Intercollegiate athletes balance many roles during a vital time of their identity development. Research regarding collegiate level athletic identity has grown in the past thirty years. More specifically, the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS; Brewer, Van Raalte, and Linder, 1993) was developed to assess the psychological benefits and risks associated with athletic identity. Much of the previous literature has examined these benefits and risks in Division I student-athletes. The goal of this study was to explore the relationship between athletic identity and well-being in Division III student-athletes, a generally understudied population. An additional aim of the study was to determine if participation in non-athletic activities (campus involvement) positively impacted well-being in Division III student-athletes. The results indicated a significant relationship between athletic identity and well-being. Furthermore, the interaction of campus involvement, athletic identity, and well-being was determined to not be significant. Clinical implications, limitations and strengths to the study, and future directions are discussed. Keywords: athletic identity, campus involvement, satisfaction with life, perceived social support, mental health, well-being, student-athletes " -- Abstract

Download or read book Athletic Identity Transition to Transformation written by Mark D Robinson and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-10 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through decades of global research and observation of athletes at all levels, I have analyzed their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This book delivers an examination of the athlete's personal development process. Specifically, I explore the multi-level platform of the transition to transformation dynamics and detail how athletes are affected by external factors. This includes examining the circumstances that lead to a vulnerable athlete who lacks the developmental foundation needed to successfully build their personal character and manage the many transitions associated with sports participation. The essence of this book illustrates that: An athlete never knows who he/she is until they are no longer an athlete. By virtue of their beliefs, athletes choose an identity. This identity choice builds and drives both their internal foundation of character and their external projections of comfort, thus providing varying and often conflicting emotions when identifying as an athlete. These factors, when woven together, produce either ignorance or education that guide the athlete on a future journey of either sorrow and pain or joy and happiness. If used for its intended purpose, this book will assist athletes in understanding who they are, what they do well and, overall, what they can possibly become before reaching the final game of their careers. This allows the athlete to: Determine who they are while identifying as an athlete. --Dr. Mark Robinson Ph.D.

Download or read book Physical Self-concept and Athletic Identity Among Former Collegiate Athletes written by Jennifer K. Shannon and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined physical self-concept, global self-esteem, and athletic identity among former collegiate athletes. 308 former Division 1 NCAA collegiate athletes participated in the study. This study replicated findings that physical self-worth demonstrates a positive relation with global self-esteem. Athletic identity was shown to mediate the relation between physical self-concept and global self-esteem for former collegiate athletes. Athletic identity was also shown to mediate the relation between physical activity and physical self-concept. Athletic identity did not serve as a moderating variable for the entire sample, but was shown to moderate the relation between physical activity and physical self-concept for those no longer participating in their collegiate sport and those no longer identifying as an athlete. Athletic identity and global self-esteem demonstrated age-related differences. These findings suggest that there is some maintenance of athletic identity for many former collegiate athletes, and that identity remains influential in its association with physical self-concept.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an opportunity for researchers, professionals, and practitioners working directly with gifted individuals to engage with and examine the concept of underachievement of highly capable and talented individuals from different perspectives. Chapters written by experts in gifted education from diverse backgrounds explore underachievement in principle, illuminate underachievement as a response to written and unwritten policy and practice, showcase ranges of intellectual capability outside of traditional academic subjects, shift deficit views of not meeting rigid expectations to honoring interests and cultural values of the individual, and provide suggested and proven practices and services as solutions to bridge the gaps in achievement and performance for gifted and talented students. Expertly blending theory with practice, Underachievement in Gifted Education is a must read for all practitioners, educators of gifted individuals, and researchers seeking more opportunities to help students align how they choose to exhibit their talent and efforts with external and internal expectations, personal interests, and cultural values to reach their maximum potential.
