There are numerous books documenting the challenges of student
athletes and presenting recommendations for academic success. They
primarily focus on understanding the issues of student-athletes and
recommendations are oftentimes overly simplistic, failing to
explicitly provide interventions that can be executed by
student-athlete support personnel. In addition, the topic of
supporting student-athletes who are academically at risk and/or are
diagnosed with high incidence disabilities has been overlooked by
scholars resulting in few publications specifically focusing on
providing strategies to the staff/personnel who serve these
populations. The general target audience is college/university
practitioners who interface with student-athletes who demonstrate
academic and social risk in the realm of athletics. These
stakeholders include but are not limited to: academic support
staff, student athletes, parents, coaches, faculty/educators,
counselors, psychologists, higher education administrators, student
affairs professionals, disability services coordinators/personnel,
as well as researchers who focus on education leadership, sports,
and special education. All of these groups are likely to find this
book attractive especially as they work with student-athletes who
are at-risk for academic failure. Also, it is ventured that this
book will become the staple text for the National Association of
Academic Advisors (N4A), the official organization for all
personnel who work in collegiate academic support and can be used
by members of intercollegiate athletic associations to reform
policies in place to support at-risk student-athletes.
