Sport Psychology Utilization Among College Football Coaches: Understanding College Football Coaches’ Attitudes About Sport Psychology, Aaron W. Halterman, Jesse A. Steinfeldt, Jeff Ruser, Julia Cawthra, Ashley Neidigh
Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics
As the field of Sport Psychology (SP) continues to expand and become more embedded within college athletic programs, it is necessary to assess practices by which sport psychology providers can be effective in delivering services and accessing populations. Football represents a particular athletic subculture that paradoxically needs services but can be difficult to access. This current study examined perspectives of college football coaches in order to further expand the understanding of college football coaches’ knowledge about sport psychology by assessing coaches’ abilities to identify mental health concerns and their willingness to refer student- athletes to mental health services. Coaches revealed …
Collegiate Athletes’ Use And Perceptions Of Institutional Sources Of Support For Role-Related Stressors, Sarah J. Hatteberg
Collegiate Athletes’ Use And Perceptions Of Institutional Sources Of Support For Role-Related Stressors, Sarah J. Hatteberg
Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics
Scholarship shows that in managing role-related strains, collegiate athletes have access to a wide range of institutional sources of social support, yet few studies have examined college athletes’ use or perceptions of these institutionally-based sources. Drawing on qualitative interviews conducted with a sample of athletes participating in a big-time collegiate athletic program, this study examined the extent to which athletes solicited social support from various institutional sources in coping with their role-related stressors. Findings suggest that while the majority of athletes solicited aid from institutional sources and appreciated the specialized support those sources were able to provide, athletes also believed …
College Athletes And Suicide Prevention: A Collaborative Autoethnography, Kim D. Gross, Lisa M. Rubin, Anne P. Weese
College Athletes And Suicide Prevention: A Collaborative Autoethnography, Kim D. Gross, Lisa M. Rubin, Anne P. Weese
Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics
This collaborative autoethnography weaves together a personal and powerful story from a former college athlete turned student-athlete services professional with reflections from a licensed mental health counselor who works with student-athletes. Kim shared her own struggles with mental health as well as her initially unknowing impact on a teammate, who sought her support when contemplating suicide. Information about depression and suicide among college athletes is presented along with practical ways and resources for anyone who might work with student-athletes to know. Developing skills to talk to student-athletes about suicide is one method for professionals to participate in supporting the mental …

Beyond The Lines: Exploring The Impact Of Adverse Childhood Experiences On Ncaa Student-Athlete Health, Braden J. Brown, Jakob J. Jensen, Jennifer L. Hodgson, Alexander M. Schoemann, Damon L. Rappleyea
Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics
Emerging research has highlighted a link between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and various health concerns experienced by NCAA student-athletes. Building on prior work (Kaier, Cromer, Davis, & Strunk, 2015), we hypothesized that ACEs would significantly predict student- athletes’ biopsychosocial (BPS) health and that spirituality would serve as a protective factor against the effect of ACEs on BPS health outcomes. Division I, II, and III NCAA student-athletes (N = 477) representing 20 sports across 53 universities completed an online quantitative survey (k = 133) that assessed for ACEs, injury/physical health concerns, anxiety, depression, stress, social support, substance use, and spirituality. Nearly …
Black Football Student-Athletes’ Perceived Barriers To Seeking Mental Health Services, Todd A. Wilkerson, Sarah Stokowski, Alison Fridley, Stephen W. Dittmore, Charles A. Bell
Black Football Student-Athletes’ Perceived Barriers To Seeking Mental Health Services, Todd A. Wilkerson, Sarah Stokowski, Alison Fridley, Stephen W. Dittmore, Charles A. Bell
Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics
Black male student-athletes have endured frequent stereotyping on college campuses (Hawkins, 2010). Additionally, Black student-athletes have experienced educational, campus, and athletic stressors (Miller & Hoffman, 2009). Many student-athletes do not seek mental health services because of their status on campus (Watson, 2005). The general population has experienced common barriers in seeking mental health services including low socio-economic status (Hurd, Stoddard, & Zimmerman, 2013) and negative stigmas related to metal illness (Wang et al., 2005). While it is reasonable to assume similar challenges exist for Black student-athletes, it must be investigated empirically. As such, the purpose of this study was to …

I Am Not Only A Student-Athlete: Investigating Social Identity Complexity As A Stereotype Threat Mitigation Strategy To Reduce Barriers To Academic Engagements, Jacob Alan English, Ann Cale Kruger
Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics
Collegiate athletes must contend with harmful stereotypes (e.g., intellectually lazy, unintelligent) during their academic careers (Comeaux, 2012). Research shows that student-athletes’ academic performance can be negatively impacted by stereotype threat (Riciputi & Erdal, 2017). Currently, there is no published evidence-based research on stereotype threat (ST) mitigation strategies targeted to student-athletes. Expanding the work of Gresky and colleagues (2005), this study explored a self-concept map activity, based on the social identity complexity theory, as one potential strategy for collegiate athletes. Seventy Division I athletes were randomly assigned to one of three experimental conditions (varying by the level of ST administered). ANOVA …
Connected At The Hip: Exploring Quality Dimensions In First-Year Seminars For Student-Athletes, Nikola Grafnetterova, Chelsie L. Hawkinson, Rachel L. Rodriguez
Connected At The Hip: Exploring Quality Dimensions In First-Year Seminars For Student-Athletes, Nikola Grafnetterova, Chelsie L. Hawkinson, Rachel L. Rodriguez
Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics
First-year seminars have been identified as a high-impact practice resulting in heightened academic performance, retention, and skill attainment (Kuh, 2008). Many higher education institutions offer exclusive sections of this transition course to first-year student-athletes, but a lack of research exists about their curriculum and learning outcomes. As such, this study sought to examine the design of first-year seminars for student-athletes as it relates to their quality implementation. The review of syllabi and institutional websites revealed that first-year seminars address a wide range of student-athlete needs, and for the most part, meet the expectations of HIP quality dimensions. Yet, this study …
Engaging College Athletes In & Through Graduate Study: Academic Trajectories And Implications, Siduri Haslerig
Engaging College Athletes In & Through Graduate Study: Academic Trajectories And Implications, Siduri Haslerig
Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics
This phenomenological study explores the academic trajectories of Division I football players who earned bachelor’s degrees and took postbaccalaureate coursework prior to exhausting their NCAA eligibility, i.e., graduate(d) student athletes. Despite academic success, this population has been virtually invisible in the research literature. Findings were analyzed using college choice and transition-from-sport frameworks. Although most participants entered college with a predisposition toward college-going and, for some, plans to pursue graduate coursework, others were less traditionally college-bound but still successful. Further, as participants made meaning of their graduate student status, they tended to frame their trajectory as the result of taking full …
College Football Player Transitions Out Of Their Sport: A Qualitative Exploration, Taylor Payne, Andrew Driska
College Football Player Transitions Out Of Their Sport: A Qualitative Exploration, Taylor Payne, Andrew Driska
Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics
The processes of identity management and career transition from sport appear idiosyncratic. Previous research has shown that identity foreclosure and strong athletic identity can complicate transition out of sport (Park et al., 2013; Sparkes, 1998). The literature has shown that social support can make career transition more adaptive and cause less psychological strain for athletes (Blinde & Greendorfer, 1985; Fuller, 2014; Park et al., 2013). It is the job of those in student-support services to help student-athletes prepare for a world after sport. High impact practices (HIP) are an empirically supported way to go about this. This study sought to …
Collaboration Between Athletic And Campus Advisors: Ensuring College Athletes’ Success, Lisa M. Rubin, Will A. Lewis
Collaboration Between Athletic And Campus Advisors: Ensuring College Athletes’ Success, Lisa M. Rubin, Will A. Lewis
Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics
The purpose of this study was to determine how athletic and campus advisors collaborate to ensure college athletes achieve academic success. Athletic and campus advisors at various NCAA member institutions in the U.S. were interviewed to discuss their roles in advising athletes, communication modes and barriers between athletic and campus advising professionals, education and knowledge of sport governing body academic regulations, campus locations and their impact, trustworthiness across units, and collaborative techniques employed. Ethnomethodology was used as a lens to analyze the results, leading to implications for campus advisors, athletic advisors, and advising administrators.
Antiblackness In College Athletics: Facilitating High Impact Campus Engagement And Successful Career Transitions Among Black Athletes, Eddie Comeaux, Sara E. Grummert
Antiblackness In College Athletics: Facilitating High Impact Campus Engagement And Successful Career Transitions Among Black Athletes, Eddie Comeaux, Sara E. Grummert
Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics
There are increasing concerns about the quality of educational experiences of NCAA Division I Black athletes in big-time college sports. Calls for reform have come from within colleges and universities and beyond. This article presents findings from a review of the extant research on high-impact engagement activities of Black athletes, which have been shown to be conditional on the campus racial climate and antiblack racism in the multibillion-dollar athletics enterprise. The article concludes with an introduction to the Career Transition Scorecard, a mechanism and process designed to shift cognitive frames among practitioners, foster evidence-based practices, and improve campus experiences and …
“There’S No Way I Can Do All Of This”: The Perceived Impacts Of Stress Exposure On The Academic Development Of Collegiate Athletes, Sarah Hatteberg
“There’S No Way I Can Do All Of This”: The Perceived Impacts Of Stress Exposure On The Academic Development Of Collegiate Athletes, Sarah Hatteberg
Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics
Literature on collegiate athletes’ academic engagement suggests that athletes’ exposure to competing and contradictory role expectations and an institutional prioritization of athletic excellence may negatively impact athletes’ academic and professional development. Few, however, have examined this possibility from the perspective of the athletes themselves. Using qualitative data collected from a sample of collegiate athletes, this study examined athlete perceptions of their stress exposures and how those impact their academic engagement and growth. Findings indicate that athletes across sports experienced role-related and institutional strains that impacted their academic development and professionalization. Specifically, athletes felt that their athletic role obligations and efforts …
An Examination Of Culturally Responsive Programming For Black Student-Athletes’ Holistic Development At Division I Historically White Institutions (Hwis), Shannon Jolly, Joseph N. Cooper, Jepkorir R. Chepyator-Thomson
An Examination Of Culturally Responsive Programming For Black Student-Athletes’ Holistic Development At Division I Historically White Institutions (Hwis), Shannon Jolly, Joseph N. Cooper, Jepkorir R. Chepyator-Thomson
Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics
There are significant gaps in positive educational outcomes of Black student-athletes when compared to their peers. These gaps reflect deficits in culturally responsive support for the academic success and holistic development of Black student-athletes at historically White institutions (HWIs). While research has examined athletic academic support programs, there is limited attention towards programming efforts that consider the unique experiences and needs of Black student-athletes at HWIs. Discrepancies in Black student-athletes’ academic performance and graduation rates at Division I HWIs question the effectiveness of athletic academic support programs. The purpose of this manuscript is to examine literature on culturally responsive programming …
Too Big To Fail: The Penn State Scandal And The Crisis Of The Corporate University, Jordan Bass, Joshua I. Newman
Too Big To Fail: The Penn State Scandal And The Crisis Of The Corporate University, Jordan Bass, Joshua I. Newman
Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics
In the fall of 2011, the Pennsylvania State University campus was rocked by a sexual abuse scandal involving former football defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. Details of the crimes and the multiple cover-ups by university officials shocked the nation. In this article, we first argue that more attention needs to be paid to the institutional hegemony the Nittany Lion football program had over the university, the town, the state, the Big Ten Conference, and the NCAA. We argue that the increasing corporatization of higher education and college athletics, at least, partially contributed to an organizational culture in which multiple individual actors …
Rethinking Penn State Sanctions And Executive Authority, Christian Dennie, Gerald Gurney
Rethinking Penn State Sanctions And Executive Authority, Christian Dennie, Gerald Gurney
Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics
Abandoning NCAA established enforcement procedures, President Mark Emmert, through powers granted to him by the NCAA Executive Committee, levied unprecedented sanctions on Pennsylvania State University. In the process, the NCAA required Penn State to sign a consent decree that forfeited any rights to appeal, or Penn State would face a four-year death penalty that would decimate its storied football program. Questions arise as to whether the circumstances at Penn State rose to the level of requiring NCAA Executive Committee action and specifically whether such indiscretions challenged NCAA core values, such as academics or athletics competition, and the propriety and wisdom …

“But It’S Joe Pa!” The Effects Of Social Identification On Sport Fan Perceptions Of The Penn State Case, Jason R. Lanter
Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics
This study examined the attitudes of football fans towards the recent events at The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State). The child sexual abuse allegations at Penn State led to the firing of the long-time head football coach and resignation of the university president. Using a snowball sampling technique, participants completed an online questionnaire that assessed their identification with the Penn State football team and their attitudes towards Penn State, and the coach and president. The fans who were high-identified with the football team were expected to demonstrate more support for the actions of, and less perceived responsibility and blame for …
