Description

This book challenges existing literature on student-athletes and examines the obstacles student-athletes face with respect to academic achievement in college. Blum includes excerpts from in-depth, semi-structured interviews with US student-athletes, coaches, academic advisors, and learning specialists to provide insights on how student-athletes define success academically, athletically, and professionally. He also identifies the challenges student-athletes face inside and outside of the classroom and how they can be helped in achieving academic success. Review ”Blum offers a unique glimpse into the everyday life of student-athletes in higher education. As colleges and universities demand more from student-athletes in and out of the classroom, it is important to understand the challenges faced by these students and how they understand and achieve success in their sport and the classroom. This book is essential reading for anyone involved with the NCAA and faculty, staff, and administrators at colleges and universities.” ― Anthony J. Roberts, Assistant Professor of Sociology, Colorado State University, USA “A thoughtful and needed examination of the multiple issues student-athletes face, Blum’s new work is essential reading for professors, coaches, parents and advisors of college student-athletes. Blum dispels several harmful myths and misconceptions, and suggests new ways of helping student-athletes succeed―both in their classes and for their teams.”―Adam G. Sanford, Lecturer, California State University, Dominguez Hills, USA From the Back Cover This book challenges existing literature on student-athletes and examines the obstacles student-athletes face with respect to academic achievement in college.
