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 a
career professional, many others struggle to adjust to life without
sports. This book 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.
