The purpose of this study was to explore participants\u2019 academic experiences and confidence about their academic achievement. Participants ( N = 27) consisted of high-achieving African American male student\u2014athletes from four academically rigorous American universities in the Pac-Ten conference. Most of the participants competed in revenue-generating sports and were interviewed to obtain a deeper understanding of their successful academic experiences. Utilizing a phenomenological approach four major themes emerged: \u201cI Had to Prove I\u2019m Worthy,\u201d \u201cI\u2019m a Perceived Threat to Society,\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s About Time Management,\u201d and \u201cIt\u2019s About Pride and Hard Work.\u201d Stereotype threat and stereotype reactance are investigated in relation to findings. Recommendations for scholars and practitioners that work with student-athletes are also articulated.<\/p>\n
