Athletic Participation and Wellness: Implications for Counseling College Student-Athletes
Watson, Joshua C.; Kissinger, Daniel B.
Journal of College Counseling, v10 n2 p153 Fall 2007
This study used a holistic wellness paradigm to explore the adjustment of student-athletes and non-athletes at a Division I institution. Results were that non-athletes reported higher levels of wellness than did student-athletes. The authors discuss the ways in which wellness may affect student-athletes' physical and mental health at different points in time during their collegiate experience. Implications for college counselors and other student affairs professionals who support student-athletes are presented. (Contains 1 table.)
