Student-Athlete Experience Assignment Instructions

Overview

The Student-Athlete Experience is a phrase that continues to gain momentum as coaches and athletic administrators seek to provide holistic development opportunities for student-athletes. Research has shown that the time commitment required of student-athletes has negative consequences in other areas of development, including career development, educational and professional plans, and moral decision making (Cox, R., Sandstedt, S.D., Marten, M.P., Ward, D.G., Webber, S.N., & Ivey, S., 2004). The recent legal, behavioral, and academic scandals seen within the context of intercollegiate athletics further build the case for strategic development of players off the field. In this course, you have heard from a number of coaches and athletic administrators and learned about their goals for holistic student-athlete development, as well as the unique methods they use to achieve these goals.
