Butler Journal of Undergraduate Research

Athletic Identity, Institutional Support Services, And Transition Factors: An Analysis Of Student-Athlete Perceptions And Implications, John Nowak Kaczorowski

Theses and Dissertations

Brewer, Van Raalte and Linder (1993) defined the term athletic identity as the degree to which a person identifies with the role of an athlete and seeks outside acknowledgement of that role. Those who have a high athletic identity tend to be those who have achieved elite levels within athletics. These elite athletes tend to base their self-worth and self-esteem on their ability, performance and the appreciation of their athletic talent, while gradually neglecting other aspects of psycho-social development (Cieslak II, 2004). These resulting deficits have been attributed to what is called identity foreclosure in the literature. High-stakes athletes can …

Each neuromuscular characteristic was statistically associated with drop height, each of the other two neuromuscular …

Team Tradition In American Professional Sports Naming-Rights Deals, Jordan Lacoste

Gabelli School of Business Honors Thesis Collection

Stadium sponsorship and renaming have become highly visible in professional sports in the United States. Currently, the top twelve corporate naming-rights sponsorships in the US are worth $3.3 billion, and the number of stadia without corporate names continues to shrink each year (Badenhausen, 2016). Naming-rights sponsors include some of the largest corporations in America including AT&T, Citicorp, and numerous consumer products companies. Yet, with all this investment there has been little quantitative research on the effects of corporate renaming of sports venues. This research makes an initial step to analyze the effects of stadium renaming in professional sports, particularly on …
