Manifestations of Athletic Identity in Black Male Collegiate Student-Athletes: Introduction of a Model

Howe, J. (2020). Manifestations of athletic identity in black male collegiate student-athletes: Introduction of a model. Journal of Amateur Sport, 6(2), 107–135. https://doi.org/10.17161/jas.v6i2.13636
The socialization of Black males into athletics leads to a heightened attention placed on their athletic identity. Once these student-athletes enter the collegiate environment, the institutions of higher education and associated athletic departments have neglected to holistically develop identity within Black male student-athletes. With this population representing less than 3% of the entire student-body population on college campuses (Harper, 2018), the support that they receive also does not help to counter the negative experiences that they have. Negative experiences then lead to negative outcomes such as becoming susceptible to stereotype threat and identity foreclosure. This paper presents a conceptual model to center race while connecting athletic identity within Black male student-athletes to their experiences on campus and the outcomes related to this identity.
