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 127 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.

Download or read book Academic achievement and the student athlete written by Alan Peterson and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lack of academic success is an ongoing issue for student-athletes in the university setting. Student-athletes go to school in order to get an education, along with playing a sport, but it seems that there is still a disconnect that is effecting how these student-athletes perform off the field. Even though there have been some successful programs to help improve the academic performance of student-athletes, not many of these exist or are being implemented in the best way. This project reviews the literature to understand the underlying causes of the poor academic performance of student-athletes and provides a program to both student-athletes and faculty to help increase the success in the classroom. Components of this program include workshops for both students-athletes and faculty members to help translate athletic motivation into academic motivation and success in the classroom as well as on the field.

Download or read book Perceptions of Student Athletes and the Role of Communicative Behaviors written by Debra Jane Gerrits and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has focused on different aspects of a student-athlete's academic career, including their motivation, their successes and failures, and the different stereotypes placed on student athletes. This project addresses negative stereotypes and perceptions about student-athletes and argues that students place more internal attributions on student-athletes based on their communication behaviors in the classroom. The Situation Attitude Scale (SAS) surveyed students at a Southeastern University to indicate what communicative behaviors have an impact on perceptions and attributions. The results indicated that there was some significance between behaviors and attributions, such that students were more likely to make perceptions of student athletes when more passive behaviors were used. Results also indicated that there was significance between ethnicity and the type of attribution made. Clear results were limited due to the lack of specific measurements identifying which communication behaviors had more influence on students when making an attribution about a student athlete.
