Effective Social Support to Retain AAC Student-Athletes
Grant
Overview
abstract
-
Effective social support is critical to the holistic well-being and retention of student-athletes. The best methods for fostering social support, however, have not been clearly established. Building from previous student-athlete research, AAC administrators, who work closely with student-athletes off-the-field, will be interviewed to determine best practices that cultivate a strong social support system for student-athletes. The interview guide will be directly based on previous data from AAC student-athletes' experiences. The results will be used to disseminate practical solutions that athletic departments can implement so that healthier community, and the ensuing individual well-being, is achieved throughout the AAC.
