Positive Transitions for Student Athletes

By: Dr. Chris Stankovich | @DrStankovich | Jul 29, 2010

No Comments

As a graduate student at The Ohio State University many years ago, I studied the sport retirement transition that elite-level D1 athletes and the athletic pressure they experienced as they approached the ends of their careers (in fact, this was my doctoral dissertation). I worked alongside a terrific colleague, OSU Athletic Counselor Mr. Darin Meeker, to develop an actual course designed to help athletes prepare for their lives after sports, naming the course “Positive Transitions for Student Athletes.” Through our experience in developing the academic course, we were fortunate to also secure a college textbook deal, enabling us to write “Positive Transitions for Student Athletes” (Holcomb Hathaway, 2000).While the book is ten years old now, it still has great applicability to many athletes today, as well as parents, coaches, and related sports personnel. In fact, the book is useful to student athletes of all ages (even before they face sport retirement during college recruiting), something we didn’t originally focus on doing while writing the book for college student athletes.If you have a personal relationship with a student athlete today, please check out Positive Transitions for Student Athletes book download. The digital version of the book is almost half off the original book price, and ready for immediate download.The book includes light theory, real-life scenarios, case studies, and exercises. Student athletes will learn about a number of life skills, especially athletic transferable skills, designed to help them gain self confidence while developing coping strategies to successfully transition from sports, regardless of when this transition occurs.Please feel free to send me any questions you might have about Positive Transitions, including my research findings from the original course and study, as well as how the book can be applied to student athletes today (chris@drstankovich.com)www.drstankovich.com
