Book Description
"Introduction: Despite the substantial amount of literature on career transitions in sport, there is insufficient research examining the social support system within college athletics as it is an important resource for student-athletes, especially for their success later in life. Likewise, there are currently no studies exploring athletic retirement from the perspective of student-athlete support or development services, a section of athletic departments that provides programming for the success of their student-athletes. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the implications of athletic retirement from the perspective of directors and/or associate directors of student-athlete support or development services of NCAA Division I universities. Methods/Data Analysis: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants (n = 8) to explore their perceptions about the factors that lead to a successful or unsuccessful transition out of sport. Participants further described how their current services and programs helped student-athletes overcome the obstacles of this transitional period. Results: An inductive data analysis was used to organize participants' responses into themes and subthemes related to the original research questions. Although programming varied by institution, the participants observed that most of their student-athletes experienced a successful transition out of sport as their services and programs helped them effectively cope with the demands of athletic retirement. When participants did cite problems with the process of athletic retirement, they reported issues surrounding a salient athletic identity, such as a lack of career development, a sudden loss of the sport environment, and mental and physical health risks. Finally, participants believed that evidence-based services and programs need to be implemented to meet the needs of both current and former student-athletes. Implications for the programming of student-athlete support or development services and future research are discussed."--Boise State University ScholarWorks.

Book Description
Athletes all over the world struggle to cope with life after competitive sport. But competitive sport does not end when the clock hits zero. In fact, the game of life is just beginning, and the world is depending on you to bring your unique skillset to the table. After the Buzzer is a powerful memoir that tracks Andrew's journey with basketball far beyond the game. Andrew shares unforgettable lessons and memories not just through the metaphoric value of the game of basketball, but also from the fundamental teachings he learned from coaches, teammates, and mentors that athletes of any age can relate to. Andrew's dream was to play collegiate basketball and one day hear his name over the loudspeaker during March Madness. Though he spent hours in the gym preparing, he fell short of his initial goal. It took years for him to realize that he had actually prepared for something much bigger. For Andrew, playing basketball was temporary, but the lessons learned on the journey would guide him forever. As he transitioned into life after competitive sport, he realized the game of life was very similar to the game of basketball. And now he is sharing his journey with you so you can translate your sports skills from the court to play full out as you reach for your goals.

Book Description
While efforts to include gay and lesbian athletes in competitive sport have received significant attention, it is only recently that we have begun examining the experiences of transgender athletes in competitive sport. This book represents the first comprehensive study of the challenges that transgender athletes face in competitive sport; and the challenges they pose for this sex-segregated institution. Beginning with a discussion of the historical role that sport has played in preserving sex as a binary, the book examines how gender has been policed by policymakers within competitive athletics. It also considers how transgender athletes are treated by a system predicated on separating males from females, consequently forcing transgender athletes to negotiate the system in coercive ways. The book not only exposes our culture’s binary thinking in terms of both sex and gender, but also offers a series of thought-provoking and sometimes contradictory recommendations for how to make sport more hospitable, inclusive and equitable. Transgender Athletes in Competitive Sport is important reading for all students and scholars of the sociology of sport with an interest in the relationship between sport and gender, politics, identity and ethics.
