The Need is Real
Student-athletes arrive on college campuses often lacking the preparation to manage the challenges of a college environment. In addition to general student development concerns, research shows that student-athletes must meet a unique set of challenges (Parham, 1991):
- Learning to balance academics and athletics
- Managing success or failure
- Adjusting to a degree of isolation
- Being more cognizant of their physical health
- Termination of an athletic career and Managing their student-athlete Circle of Impact

Collegiate/College Prep Level
Developing a SUCCESS STRATEGy
IMPACT© applies a more sophisticated strategy that accounts for the complex interactions between the student, the demands of athletics, the academic institution and the world in which it all happens. Consistent support of each student’s development is critical to making a connection with students (particularly for minority and at-risk populations). Key elements:
- Social Identity (Athletic Identity): Designed to strengthen self-concept and self-confidence. These are of great interest, as well as juggling multiple identities.
- Motivation Achievement: Aimed at building realistic bridges to achieving long term academic aspirations, and improving feelings of empowerment for overall success.
- Campus Climate: Stereotypes, personal image management and the expectations of campus constituents are also of interest for discussion.
