Description

This book challenges existing literature on student-athletes and examines the obstacles student-athletes face with respect to academic achievement in college. Blum includes excerpts from in-depth, semi-structured interviews with US student-athletes, coaches, academic advisors, and learning specialists to provide insights on how student-athletes define success academically, athletically, and professionally. He also identifies the challenges student-athletes face inside and outside of the classroom and how they can be helped in achieving academic success.

Author Biography:

Beyond his work on student-athletes in college, he studies the social causes of mass shootings in the US with his colleague Christian G. Jaworski. He also co-hosts the Learning Made Easier podcast with Adam G. Sanford.
