Download or read book The Collegiate Athlete at Risk written by Morris R. Council and published by IAP. This book was released on 2018-09-01 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are numerous books documenting the challenges of student athletes and presenting recommendations for academic success. They primarily focus on understanding the issues of student-athletes and recommendations are oftentimes overly simplistic, failing to explicitly provide interventions that can be executed by student-athlete support personnel. In addition, the topic of supporting student-athletes who are academically at risk and/or are diagnosed with high incidence disabilities has been overlooked by scholars resulting in few publications specifically focusing on providing strategies to the staff/personnel who serve these populations. The general target audience is college/university practitioners who interface with student-athletes who demonstrate academic and social risk in the realm of athletics. These stakeholders include but are not limited to: academic support staff, student athletes, parents, coaches, faculty/educators, counselors, psychologists, higher education administrators, student affairs professionals, disability services coordinators/personnel, as well as researchers who focus on education leadership, sports, and special education. All of these groups are likely to find this book attractive especially as they work with student-athletes who are at-risk for academic failure. Also, it is ventured that this book will become the staple text for the National Association of Academic Advisors (N4A), the official organization for all personnel who work in collegiate academic support and can be used by members of intercollegiate athletic associations to reform policies in place to support at-risk student-athletes.

Book excerpt: Making the Connection: Data-Informed Practices in Academic Support Centers for College Athletes is practical and ideal for those who seek to use research to inform their individual and organizational practices. This volume is primarily intended for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, though scholars, researchers, teachers, practitioners, coaches, athletics administrators, and advocates of intercollegiate athletics will also find it useful. It comprises a series of chapters that cover a wide range of evidence-based approaches designed to enhance the practices of those who work closely with college athletes. Given the breadth of the field overall, this single volume is not exhaustive, but the current concerns, challenges, and themes of relevance to higher education researchers, practitioners, and others are well addressed. The intent of the text is to spark conversation about how college and university constituents can reframe their thinking about the importance of innovative research to careful, informed practice. Likewise, the contributors hope that it will inspire greater awareness and action among practitioners, as well as advance scholarship in the area of athletics. Each chapter includes current research, and in some cases theoretical perspectives, which should assist practitioners enhance the well-being of college athletes. Each chapter also offers guided discussion questions that are ideal for use as the basis of further conversation in the classroom setting. Adopters of this text will benefit from leading voices in the field who delve into complex issues, shedding new light and presenting unique opportunities for understanding a diversity of perspectives on evidence-based practices in support centers for athletes. In all, this volume provides a rich portrait of data-driven practices designed to assist practitioners and others who work closely with college athletes, and lays the groundwork for an ambitious and long overdue agenda to further develop innovative research that informs the practices of athletics stakeholders and improves the quality of experiences for college athletes.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although very few college athletes ever enter the professional world of athletics, they remain more focused on their athletic performance than on their academic achievement (Comeaux, 2013; Lawrence, Ott, & Hendricks, 2009; Ridpath, 2010). College athletes who attend Division I, II, and III institutions receive numerous resources to succeed academically, including academic advisement, tutoring, and early class enrollments (Burns, Jasinski, Dunn & Fletcher, 2013; Carodine, Almond, & Gratto, 2001; Kelo, 2005; Ridpath, 2010). These resources cannot, however, offset criticism regarding their continued poor academic performance (Feinberg, 2009). The following research questions guided this study: 1. Are there differences in which academic services are most commonly offered with respect to Division status? 2. What is the relationship between academic support services and the following demographic variables: institution type (public vs. private), Division (I, II or III), years of advising experience and gender? 3. How do academic advisors perceive the academic advising process for Division II and III college athletes? This multiphase, sequential, mixed methods study (qualitatively dominant) included academic advisors from Division I, II and III institutions, drawn from two national associations (N4A and NACADA). Phase I consisted of N=2 elite informant interviews; Phase II administered a survey questionnaire with N=165; Phase III consisted of N=7 semi-structured interviews purposefully selected from Phase II. Phase IV administered a reflective questionnaire (N=9). Boyatzis’ (1998) thematic analysis approach was applied to Phases I, III, and IV data. The researcher utilized SPSS to conduct descriptive statistics, t-tests, and one-way analysis of variance followed by Scheffe’ post-hoc tests for Phase II. Statistically significant relationships were found between academic advisors and student athlete relationships and by institution type, number of academic services offered by division, and in the offering of Special Academic Orientation Programs. No statistically significant findings were round between mails and females. Qualitative results generated four themes: a) resources and partnerships, 2) central hub of communication, 3) teaching skills for success and 4) accountability. Connected findings suggest that advisors empower and support advisees in numerous ways. This study may inform institutions to better serve college athletes with academic advising and support services

This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College athletics is a complex, revenue generating industry within the United States higher education system. This commercialized segment of education generated 9 billion dollars of income in 2015 from the efforts of 482,533 student athletes (Gains, 2016; NCAA, 2015). This system creates a unique spectrum characterized on one end by the insatiable desire for winning led by coaches, athletic departments, and alumni, resulting in athletic isolation to protect the 'athlete investment.' On the other end of the spectrum is the pursuit of a degree, academic success, and career development guided by faculty and an institution's academic mission and reputation to protect the 'student investment.' Student athletes are caught between the strong pull of these two opposing pressures which requires advising to assist them in navigating this complex environment and calls for current research to better understand the student athlete advisor role, its evolution, and related impact on student athletes within this academic-athletic spectrum. Qualitative research methods explored the lived experiences of 32 athletic academic advisors from mid-sized Division I NCAA institutions. Semi-structured interviews conducted over a two-month period explored how their role, experience, and approach influence student athletes. The study drew eight primary findings and analyzed them within three original research questions that covered: (a) the evolution of student athlete advising in higher education; (b) how student athletes engage in the broader university; and (c) the range of advising from simply maintaining athletic eligibility to optimizing academic engagement. The findings of this study illustrate the lived experiences of athletic academic advisors and unveils a mentorship role that exceeds academic advising. The findings also highlight the increasing numbers of advisors, their backgrounds, challenges, and the evolving role of student athlete advising along the athletic-academic spectrum. The results of this study can help guide institutional leaders in structuring advising and other support systems to benefit the academic and career prospects for student athletes.

Download or read book The Role of the Academic Advisor as a Support Person for Student-athletes in Higher Education written by Rachel Lynne Phillips and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite policies implemented by the NCAA with the intention of increasing student-athlete academic success and persistence to graduation, student-athlete graduation rates still remain low, with only 65% of student-athletes receiving their college degree. Certain non- cognitive variables, including the availability of a strong support person, have been shown predict persistence to graduation in higher education for non-traditional students, including student-athletes. As the NCAA requires that academic advising services be offered to all student-athletes at Division I universities, the purpose of this thesis is to determine whether or not student-athletes in the revenue generating sports of football and men's basketball consider their academic advisor as a source of support, and if so, what are the specific behavioral characteristics of these academic advisors which students find supportive? Additionally, the current study aimed to determine whether or not a difference exists between races with regards to whether or not student-athletes view their academic advisor as a source of support. In order to address the research questions, the researcher developed and distributed a survey to 43 student-athletes on the football and men's basketball teams at a large research university in the Pacific Northwest. Survey results found that 20% of the participants in the present study viewed their academic advisor as a source of support, while 67% of participants stated that their academic advisor could potentially play the role of support person to them. While the majority of participants who selected that their academic advisor is currently a support person to them identified as White, White individuals were also the least likely to state that their academic advisor could potentially play the role of support person to them. In contrast, African American student-athletes were most likely to believe that their academic advisor could be a source of support for them. Additionally, certain behavioral characteristics associated with academic advising best practices and immediacy were associated with student-athletes viewing their academic advisor as a support person. These findings have implications for policy and practice, as academic advisors should remain available as a source of support for the student-athletes they work with due to their expertise in helping student-athletes navigate their university experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this project was on the dilemma that student-athletes face when they enter college. Various demands, stresses, and pressures from coaches, professors, family, administrators, and even other students are encountered. A proposed solution was an enhanced athletic-academic advisement program. A model was proposed and data were collected from NCAA Division I, II, and III student-athletes, coaches/assistant coaches, athletic directors, and academic advisors to corroborate various aspects of the model. Two hundred eighty-five questionnaires, examining the areas of academic and athletic achievement problems and strategies, were mailed to the various populations. There were a total of 77 responses, which composed a response rate of 27%. There were no responses in the Division I student-athlete group due to the fact that permission was not given by any Division I athletic director to administer questionnaires to their student-athletes. Results showed that not only are improvements in athletic-academic advisement needed, but also support for such improvements on programs exists. Student-athletes were only moderately satisfied with their academic advisement programs and showed interest in obtaining sport psychological skill training as well. All groups felt that student-athletes needed help with time management skills. It was concluded that research on the implementation of this model is needed to benefit the athletic and academic achievement of student-athletes.
