| Abstract | Part One: College athletes -- The world of intercollegiate athletics -- Athletic identity -- Sport retirement -- Part Two: Narratives of former college athletes -- Bruce -- Dave -- Kimani -- Carlie -- Jessica -- Tony -- Eric -- Elizabeth C. -- Part Three: Preparing to leave sport -- Athletes and mental health: transition implications -- Easing the transition out of sport. "For most college athletes, the end of their athletic career comes when their college eligibility runs out. While some college athletes will move seamlessly from being a college athlete to career professional, many others struggle to adjust to life without sports. This text fills a gap in the sport retirement literature and adds to our understanding of what it means to leave sport. Steeped in scholarly literature and narrative inquiry research, the book reveals the complexity of a strong athletic identity developed over years of sport participation. Through narratives of former college athletes' readers gain a deeper understanding of the emotions and challenges caused by leaving sports participation behind. The final chapters of the book provide strategies to improve the transition out of sport for college athletes. This book is useful for graduate programs that prepare academic advisors to work with college athletes or sports management programs with a course on intercollegiate athletic environments. The book is also useful reading for counselors, academic advisors, coaches and parents of athletes at all levels of sport participation"--Provided by publisher. |
