Abstract Details

2022, Doctor of Education , University of Dayton, Educational Leadership.
The academic success of student-athletes is a hot topic on college campuses. This exploratory action research study seeks to understand the best ways to support student-athletes at a small, private college with a large student-athlete population. Utilizing the Whole Student Theory of Advising (WSToA) framework, student-athletes were surveyed and interviewed to better understand their perspective. The data indicates that student-athletes seek more support that meets their unique needs. An intervention-based model of faculty advisor training is proposed as a solution for improving the academic success of student-athletes and building interpersonal relationships between student-athletes and advisors. The scope of this solution may only apply to the institution studied; however, higher-education academic and athletic staff will find the methodology and findings useful.
