Social identity, temporal scarcity, and projected selves : a study of NCAA athletic participation and its relation to health and well-being / Study of NCAA athletic participation and its relation to health and well-being

Furthermore, findings provide a link between the projected future self, social identity and the present motivation to achieve academically. / text
