Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the current identities of student-athletes and how to improve upon them. The tool used to determine the identities was a survey that asked participants to agree or disagree with statements. The results indicated that student-athletes currently have healthy identities but are not adequately prepared for an identity change once they can no longer be labeled student-athletes.
