February 16, 2022 was the NYSPHSAA<sup>1<\/sup> Section III Indoor Track and Field State Qualifier Meet.

And this feeling wasn\u2019t something new.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Student-athletes have become increasingly devoted to their sports; they spend more time doing them, and miss important events for them. This can be highly problematic for student-athletes\u2019 well-being when their sport is not going well (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S2352250X16301658?via%3Dihub\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S2352250X16301658?via%3Dihub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brewer and Petitpas, 2017<\/a>).

This greater dedication toward sport can lead to developmental and career disadvantages, including delaying other career opportunities until all athletic opportunities have been exhausted (<a href=\"https:\/\/scholarworks.bgsu.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?article=1003&amp;context=jade\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/scholarworks.bgsu.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?article=1003&amp;context=jade\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Huml and Nite, 2019<\/a>). While athletic validation can have positive implications, athletes don\u2019t always succeed. When athletes don\u2019t succeed, they don\u2019t get athletic validation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;The absence of athletic validation can lead athletes to have feelings of inadequacy, worthlessness, and a general inability to gain fulfillment from life.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<cite><a href=\"https:\/\/etd.ohiolink.edu\/apexprod\/rws_etd\/send_file\/send?accession=bgsu1268860521&amp;disposition=inline\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/etd.ohiolink.edu\/apexprod\/rws_etd\/send_file\/send?accession=bgsu1268860521&amp;disposition=inline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Secrest, 2010<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Student-athletes\u2019 need for athletic validation makes it increasingly difficult for them to forego their sports commitments, as athletes frequently feel guilt or remorse for having missed athletic events, even if it incites a major disruption in their personal lives.

When this happens, a substantial part of their self identity may be threatened, as a result, the remaining part may not be able to obtain sufficient validation and meaning from other aspects of life (<a href=\"https:\/\/etd.ohiolink.edu\/apexprod\/rws_etd\/send_file\/send?accession=bgsu1268860521&amp;disposition=inline\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/etd.ohiolink.edu\/apexprod\/rws_etd\/send_file\/send?accession=bgsu1268860521&amp;disposition=inline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Secrest, 2010<\/a>).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Injuries are one of the most prominent disruptors of athletic validation because unlike temporary setbacks such as losses or a poor performance, the socioemotional effects of injuries are lasting. Similarly, student-athletes who are suddenly forced into involuntary retirement encompass a loss of personal and public identity because of the sudden change in athletic identity; this is linked to a greater likelihood of reporting symptoms of distress, depression, sleep disturbances, adverse nutritional behavior, and lower life satisfaction (<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/acsm-csmr\/fulltext\/2020\/10000\/the_psychological_burden_of_retirement_from_sport.11.aspx\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/acsm-csmr\/fulltext\/2020\/10000\/the_psychological_burden_of_retirement_from_sport.11.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Esopenko et. al., 2020<\/a>).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Preserving Athlete Status<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Student-athletes experience particular stressors related to their athletic status, such as extensive time demands, loss of \u2018star status,\u2019 the possibility of being benched, conflicts with coaches and more that non-athletes do not (<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/amyburris.atspace.com\/StressPDF.pdf\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"http:\/\/amyburris.atspace.com\/StressPDF.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Wilson and Pritchard, 2005<\/a>). The largest problem with student-athletes in this regard is that athletics may become a priority over academics due to the pressures placed on student-athletes to succeed in sports.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Student-athletes are a unique population that face unique problems. Athletics are a very short, temporary part of their lives, yet are often prioritized over other commitments. By acknowledging this growing imbalance in student-athletes\u2019 lives, we can start to destigmatize student-athletes getting access to the resources they need to succeed academically, athletically, and socially as well as prioritizing what\u2019s best for them rather than just prioritizing sports. It is through this process that student-athletes will be able to flourish best in all areas of their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">_____<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><sup>1<\/sup>New York State Public High School Athletic Association<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brewer, Britton W., and Albert J.
