How the Psychosocial Effects of Serious Injuries are Related to the Academic Lives of Student-Athletes

<p> Competing within the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) involves an inherent risk of injury. For the student-athletes who experience serious injuries, the subsequent difficulties can be hard to navigate. While most research focuses on the athletic identity of recovering student-athletes, little is known about how they are affected within the classroom. This study utilizes qualitative methodology and Wiese-Bjornstal et al.&rsquo;s integrated model of response to sport injury (1998) to explore this gap in the literature, by looking at how the psychosocial effects of injury are related to student-athletes&rsquo; academic responsibilities, as well as the balance between their athletic and academic commitments.</p><p>
