| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to examine the way in which a life skills program is delivered to 600 student-athletes by the Student-Athlete Services (SAS) department within the larger Athletic Department at a major Division I university. By utilizing an evaluation template previously used as an assessment tool by the NCAA for the purpose of recognizing CHAMPS/Life Skills Programs of Excellence, information was collected for the purpose of evaluating the current program offerings and identifying potential areas for improvement. Answers to the following questions were sought as a part of this study. Question #1. What are the internal strengths and weaknesses of the Life Skills Program? Question #2. How can the Life Skills Program be improved? The results of this study provide useful information to athletic department administrators as they seek to continually assess and improve the way in which athletic departments and the individual student-athletes interact with each other, thereby improving the overall student athletic experience and equipping these students with the skills and tools necessary for success in life beyond the college years. |
