Governing bodies across intercollegiate athletics have launched various programs with the intent to develop the whole student-athlete and prepare them for a diverse, ever-changing world. For example, through the NCAA Life Skills program,the non-profit organization has aligned with the National Association of AcademicAdvisors for Athletics (N4A) in order to focus on skills that are useful beyond the college experience (National Collegiate Athletic Association, 2021b). Additionally, there are opportunities for leadership development through the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) at both the institution and national governing body While this is the case, some of these may be limited to just a portion of student-athletes leaving only those selected to develop these particular skills. 💔 Since it is an advisory board SAAC, for instance, limits the number of participants to those who have the time, inclination, and willingness to represent themselves and other student-athletes inside and outside the institution, and there are gatekeepers (coaches and administrators) who can choose whether or not to support an individual’s interest in participating. 💔
