Abstract
ABSTRACTThe purpose of the study was to investigate and explain the academic, social, and athletic experiences of Black1 student-athletes attending a predominantly White degree-granting2 institution of higher education. Participants were six Black student-athletes (two women, four men). Situated in positioning theory, the research design was explanatory multiple case study. The primary data collection method was semi-structured interviews. The interviews were analyzed using a constant comparative approach and exposed that the participants had experienced academic challenges and negative social dynamics, but had athletic advantages in resources and training. To better support Black student-athletes, we encourage athletic departments, coaches, faculty, and all students to respect and value the identities, socio-economic backgrounds, and cultures of student-athletes of diversity.
