This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There are a number of factors that contribute an individual's level of subjective well-being (SWB) during their college or athletic career. Researchers agree that two integral predictors of SWB are an individual's level of grit and their ability to utilize a growth mindset (Hou et al., 2021; Albert et al., 2019). However, work regarding student-athletes' subjective well-being related to their grit and mindset is limited. This thesis examines the role that established self-regulatory processes (i.e., grit, counterfactual thinking, and mindset) contributing to student-athletes' levels of subjective well-being within their present environment. The present study explored the relationship between these constructs in Division 1, 2, and 3 student-athletes (N = 75) across Central Texas using simple ordinary least squares multiple regression and indirect effects analyses. Findings showed that grit alone was the sole positive predictor of well-being in student-athletes, accounting for approximately 30% of the variance in SWB scores. Collectively, these results suggest that grit may serve student-athletes well, as they pursue long-term goals both within and outside their athletic domains." -- P. vii

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychological concerns such as athlete burnout and diminished well-being have become an increasing problem collegiate student-athletes are faced with due to substantial academic and athletic demands. The first purpose of this study was to determine if the association exists between athlete burnout and well-being in female collegiate student-athletes. The second purpose was to determine if grit and social support have a main or buffering-effect on well-being and athlete burnout in female college student-athletes. The study utilized a quantitative, cross-sectional design through the administration of a web-based survey. A convenience sample of 174 NCAA Division I, female collegiate student-athletes from one Southeastern institution was utilized for the study. A correlation analysis presented a significant negative, moderate correlation (r=-0.58, p

Download or read book Mental Toughness Well being and Coach created Motivational Climate Within Collegiate Athletics written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the relationship between college student-athletes' well-being, self-ratings of mental toughness in sport, and perceptions of the coach-created motivational climate. One hundred and two NCAA Division I female student-athletes completed measures of well-being, mental toughness, and coach-created motivational climate over the course of a university academic year. The author hypothesized that mental toughness and perceptions of the coach-created motivational climate would predict well-being. Overall, the results of the study found a predictive relationship between well-being and mental toughness, and well-being, mental toughness, and an ego-involving coach-created motivational climate. These results provide initial evidence that cognitive, affective, personality, and environmental factors influence student-athlete well-being. The findings also demonstrate that Henriques et al.'s (2017) Nested Model of Well-being (NM) may be an effective model to understand the unique factors that influence student-athlete well-being. For example, the results of the study indicate that the construct of mental toughness may overlap with Henriques et al.'s (2014) conceptualization of adaptive potentials (one's skills and abilities to function effectively in the environment). Additionally, the influence of a student-athlete's perception of the coach-created motivational climate on well-being may be aligned with the NM's characterization of the environmental domain. These results indicate a need to study other factors that influence student-athlete well-being. This study demonstrates a need to develop measures that assess student-athlete well-being while also accounting for the unique cultural components of college athletics that may influence the well-being of student athletes.

Download or read book Winning at the College Level written by Shaun Tyrance and published by . This book was released on 2014-05-05 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are three main areas that all student-athletes must navigate in their first year: academic, athletic, and social. Successful navigation of the first-year will enhance the overall college experience and greatly increase the likelihood of graduation. Therefore, a smooth transition from high school to college is imperative for student-athletes who are attempting to manage these challenges. Winning at the College Level is a practical guide that provides student athletes with resources and tools to manage all aspects of their transition, including navigating the classroom, building relationships with teammates, nutrition, and sleep. Written based on the latest research and information provided by upperclass student-athletes, Winning at the College Level includes information specific to international and transfer student athletes and addresses the important topics of mental health and athletic identity. In addition, the College Survival Guide is a workbook that allows student-athletes to learn about themselves and develop skills that are essential to success in athletics, higher education, and life. Every first-year student (athlete or non-athlete) must become accustomed to life without parents and the increased academic requirements inherent to college; however the student-athlete must meet the challenging demands associated with college athletics. The goal of Winning at the College Level is to aid student-athletes in this transition, providing them with the resources and equipping them with the skills needed for success in the first year and beyond.

Download or read book The Effects of Personal Growth Initiative Grit and Spirituality on Competition Anxiety in Student Athletes written by Taylor Smith and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Personal growth initiative (PGI) is an intrinsically motivated engagement in growth processes that contribute to their ability to excel in sporting performance (Robitschek, 1998), and PGI may also predict their grit as well. Like PGI, team cohesion influences both performance and well-being in athletes, and little research has explored how spiritually oriented coaching influences team cohesion. This study explored PGI, grit, competition anxiety, intrinsic motivation, and the impact of spiritual involvement in sports on team cohesion. A sample (N = 45) of collegiate athletes at private Christian universities completed self-report measures in a survey. PGI was not a significant predictor of grit. While PGI was negatively correlated with competition anxiety (r = -.41) and positively correlated with sport satisfaction (r = .41), a moderation analysis showed no presence of PGI moderating the relationship between competition anxiety and sport satisfaction. Intrinsic motivation predicted about 16.8% of the variance in PGI. Spiritually oriented coaching and team activities did not predict team cohesion. I discuss implications of the findings and future directions for research.

Download or read book Disparities and Prominence of Mental Health Resources and Practices Specific to Collegiate Athletics written by Aubrey Cousins and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental health care for collegiate athletes has often been overlooked or neglected. Student- athletes are seen as an example of discipline, commitment, and meet the physical health demands of their sports, but there's more to being a student-athlete than physical preparation and performance. The number of student-athletes competing in championship sports increased by 17% since 2010, reaching an all-time high of 503,623 in 2021 (NCAA, 2021). Unfortunately, collegiate athletes are 2% more likely than their non-athlete counterparts to experience severe mental illness and are at greater risk of substance abuse, social anxiety, and eating disorders than other students (NCAA, 2021). To limit self-harm and substance abuse, change needs to be created to educate and advocate for mental health importance. This study aims to: (1) review literature regarding student athlete mental health needs, (2) examine research on barriers and facilitators to receiving mental health care and education, and (3) develop recommendations for the betterment of mental health practices for collegiate student athletes.

Download or read book Identification and Navigation of Mental Health Stressors in Collegiate Female Athletes written by Dianna Marie Marinaro and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental health is a national priority and encompasses many elements, such as cognitive, behavioral, and emotional wellbeing. Moreover, collegiate female athletes are exposed to numerous mental health stressors, that when left untreated, can lead to further mental health complications and athlete burn-out. The expectation to prosper in the classroom as well as on the field can cause an accumulation of one or many mental health issues within an athlete. The purpose of this qualitative case study is to identify mental health stressors that female athletes experience at the collegiate level, as well as the supports and barriers that they encounter while trying to navigate these mental health stressors. This qualitative case study will draw attention to the issues in mental health that collegiate female athletes are facing as well as recognize the hurdles and current resources that are available to support them. The following research questions will guide this study: 1) How do female athletes describe the mental health stressors that they have experienced during their collegiate years? 2) What barriers do collegiate female athletes experience when navigating mental health stressors? 3) How do coaches describe their capacity to provide collegiate female athletes with supports to navigate mental health stressors? This study is significant because it will provide vital information regarding prevalent mental health stressors that collegiate female athletes experience, as well as highlight the supports and barriers they have access to. Furthermore, this study is significant because the findings have the potential to benefit numerous stakeholders. Subsequently, this study will highlight the need for proper tools, supports, and resources that will allow for female athletes to overcome, as well as control mental health stressors that they may experience during college. Finally, this study is significant because the identified mental health stressors that may be shared by the collegiate female athletes who participate in this study may be transferable to male collegiate athletes, as well as non-athlete college students. Key words: mental health, stressors, student athletes, social constructivism, focus group, case study

Download or read book Female Collegiate Student Athletes and the Perception Attitudes and Experiences of Psychological and Mental Health Services written by Breonna Bejaran and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explored eighteen National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II female student athletes’ experiences and opinions of help seeking for mental health concerns. A mixed methodological design was used. Qualitative and quantitative data was collected to gain an understanding of help seeking barriers for the participant and their beliefs about help seeking barriers for their peers. Results from the qualitative data identified several themes that assisted in understanding help seeking behaviors. Data suggest that there was a lack of motivation when it came to seek mental health services as a whole by the female student athlete population. Time, lack of understanding as to where to get counseling, as well as lack of information as a whole showed to be the most prominent barriers within the female athlete population. There was also a significant finding involving lack of information and the amount of time the participant has been at the university, showing that the longer they were at the university the less information they had about mental health services. Many themes were also collected such as fear of being misunderstood, as well as feeling there is a lack of qualified counselors and a lack of counselors of the respondents’ own gender and race.

Download or read book Grit written by Angela Duckworth and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this instant New York Times bestseller, Angela Duckworth shows anyone striving to succeed that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent, but a special blend of passion and persistence she calls “grit.” “Inspiration for non-geniuses everywhere” (People). The daughter of a scientist who frequently noted her lack of “genius,” Angela Duckworth is now a celebrated researcher and professor. It was her early eye-opening stints in teaching, business consulting, and neuroscience that led to her hypothesis about what really drives success: not genius, but a unique combination of passion and long-term perseverance. In Grit, she takes us into the field to visit cadets struggling through their first days at West Point, teachers working in some of the toughest schools, and young finalists in the National Spelling Bee. She also mines fascinating insights from history and shows what can be gleaned from modern experiments in peak performance. Finally, she shares what she’s learned from interviewing dozens of high achievers—from JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff to Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll. “Duckworth’s ideas about the cultivation of tenacity have clearly changed some lives for the better” (The New York Times Book Review). Among Grit’s most valuable insights: any effort you make ultimately counts twice toward your goal; grit can be learned, regardless of IQ or circumstances; when it comes to child-rearing, neither a warm embrace nor high standards will work by themselves; how to trigger lifelong interest; the magic of the Hard Thing Rule; and so much more. Winningly personal, insightful, and even life-changing, Grit is a book about what goes through your head when you fall down, and how that—not talent or luck—makes all the difference. This is “a fascinating tour of the psychological research on success” (The Wall Street Journal).

Download or read book Well Being and Higher Education written by Sally Pingree and published by . This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well-Being and Higher Education explores the multiple connections of well-being to higher education and why those connections matter—for the individual lives of students and those who teach; for the institution; and for whether or not the unique promise of higher education to a democratic society can be advanced and realized. The publication's thirty-five original essays and provocations—by some of the most highly respected voices within and beyond the academy—address the theoretical underpinnings and practical expressions of these connections. Well-Being and Higher Education opens the discussion on learning's connection to well-being; responds to current challenges against the state of higher education today; and brings to the forefront a conversation considering the greater purposes of higher education and the need to preserve and revive the institution's role to look beyond itself to a greater good.
