Reaching the Unreachable College Student-Athlete: Changing the Entitlement Culture in the Classroom.

jeudi 10 novembre 2016 à 15:30–16:15 MST
Fiesta 2 (24)
Session Abstract

In this session, presenters describe best practices in changing the entitlement culture of college-athletes while helping them prepare for their future away of the spotlight.

Target Audience

The target audience for this session is the college/university professor or student support services professional who has found it challenging to engage with and teach student-athletes in the academic setting.

Session Description

This session will address factors that foster the entitlement mentality in many student-athletes, and will inform the participants of best practices in the classroom to ensure student-athlete academic success.
Modern technology for student-athletes is no longer a tool, it’s become a life-style. This “life-style” generates the seclusion that often nurtures narcissism. There has become quite a disconnect between academics and athletics. High school student-athletes going through the recruitment process are promised things they could never imagine getting. When they get to college, the mentality that they will be treated the same, as a student-athlete, by coaches and fans as they will be in their academic standing leads to negative attitudes and poor performance in the classroom.
