The purpose of this study was to measure student-athlete's awareness of transferable skills, identify what skills are most transferable, and identify the resources available to aid student-athletes in the transition from athletic career retirement to a non-athletic career setting. A modified version of McKnight's (2007) survey was used to collect data regarding student-athlete awareness of career transition and transferable skills. One hundred and sixty student-athletes participated in the survey, which was comprised of three parts: (a) transferable skills, (b) career transition, and (c) demographic information. A quantitative approach utilized descriptive statistics to identify student-athlete's awareness of transferable skills, the most frequently reported transferable skills, and the resources that aid in the acquirement of transferable skills and transition from athletic career retirement to a non-athletic career setting. The theoretical framework of the Model of Transition (Schlossberg, 1981) and Life Development Intervention (LDI) (Mayocchi and Hanrahan, 2000) was used to explain the factors that influence transition and role of transferable skills while transitioning out of sport. The findings are consistent with previous research stated in the literature, indicating student-athletes are highly aware of transferable skills. The student-athletes who participated in this study also determined strong work ethic as the most frequently reported transferable skill. Family members and athletics department personnel such as coaches and student-athlete development staff were identified as the most useful resources for aiding in the acquirement of transferable skills and transition from athletic career retirement to a non-athletic career setting.

Collegiate student-athletes have a unique experience that is different in many ways from non-athlete students within the college environment. Student-athletes form a distinct subculture within the greater college culture (Shulman & Bowen, 2001). During the 2012-13 academic year, there were 463,202 student-athletes; however, less than 2% of all collegiate student-athletes will advance to the professional levels (NCAA, 2013 Sept.; NCAA, 2013 Oct.). This leaves the overwhelming majority of student-athletes with the task of transitioning to life beyond athletics, despite much time, mental and physical effort devoted to fostering an athletic identity. Due to the time and energy demands placed on elite college athletes (i.e., NCAA Division I student-athletes), they may have less opportunity to explore and develop alternative identities and career paths. The NCAA has several systems of support to foster student-athlete well-being; however, there appears to be a lack in recognition of the potential difficulty student-athletes may have in transitioning to life beyond collegiate athletics. There also appears to be a lack in discussion of how to best assist student-athletes in this transition upon completion of their collegiate athletic career. Seeking to provide a resource in an area that has not been sufficiently addressed, a program is proposed to assist student-athletes transition to life beyond athletics, entitled Success Through Athletics. Utilizing the format of a logic model (Savaya & Waysman, 2005), the current program incorporates knowledge of the unique experience of student-athletes, as well as literature on transitions and developmental theory specific to student-athletes, and is intended for implementation within an athletic department over the initial four years of a student-athletes collegiate career. The overarching structure of the four year Success Through Athletics program is as follows: (a) year one, goal development and encouragement of dualistic thinking; (b) year two, skills identification and movement toward multiplistic thinking; (c) year three, values identification and continued development of multiplistic thinking; and (d) year four, self-awareness and movement toward relativistic thinking.

A commonly held belief is that collegiate athletes are particularly effective at transferring skills from their sports participation into a variety of non-sport settings. Unfortunately, a significant relationship has yet to be identified or examined between former Division I studentathletes' athletic identity and the development and application of transferable skills from sports to non-sport employment. The purpose of this study is to address the lack of measurable outcomes connected to the relationship between the athletic identity of former Division I student-athletes and the perceived development of transferable life skills through their varsity intercollegiate sports participation. In addition to exploring the perceived development of these skills, it is important to establish an understanding of how athletic identity affects the perceived application of life skills within non-sport employment settings. The researcher utilized an exploratory, correlational quantitative method to address three key research questions. Findings indicate that while a statistically significant relationship exists between former student-athletes' athletic identity and their perceived development of life skills, athletic identity had no effect on an individual's perceived application of transferable skills within non-sport employment. This study looks to contribute to the current body of literature by providing a measurable baseline between athletic identity and life skill development application.

This book was written to support the academic success of student athletes—whether at a large or small university or college, whether team or individual sport, whether women or men, whether on scholarship or not. While all college students must learn to negotiate the complex transition from high school to college, student athletes face unique challenges, including the complicated set of regulations set out by the NCAA and individual conferences that determine eligibility. The current environment in college athletics makes it even more critical that student athletes understand what they need to do academically and how to avoid potential situations that could jeopardize their athletic careers. College Knowledge for the Student Athlete is a road map and tour guide for a successful career as a student athlete. Tips are based on research and the authors’ experience, as well as the wisdom and advice of hundreds of former student athletes.
