Using data collected from interviews with 27 African American male college athletes, the current study investigated the lived experiences of this demographic group as they formed ideas about \u201cself\u201d within the realm of higher education. Our findings revealed that their definition of masculinity was at the core of their identities. In addition, participants saw themselves as more than athletes\u2014They were scholars and productive members of surrounding communities. Furthermore, interactions with women, teammates, and non-athletic peers influenced participants\u2019 self-perceptions. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Article Link:<\/strong><\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0042085916668955\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/016146812012200812<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reference:\u00a0Fuller, R.
