Abstract
  • A narrative write up of my reflection of learning and CSSA course influence.
  • My focus for this portfolio is on the athletic identity development of student-athletes and how this correlates with their transition out of sport. Throughout this portfolio I will be discussing the course of my gymnastics career and how the transition into retirement, coupled with the CSSA program, led me to create a program tailored to near-retired and retired athletes. I describe my triumphs and struggles as a graduate student, the development of my intersecting identities as a biracial, Black woman, the development of my scholarly voice, course competencies and class influence. The CSSA program grew on me rather quickly, and from this I developed a passion for student-affairs based work in higher education. Towards the end of this portfolio I highlight key theories and concepts that have impacted my program, advising approach, and personal and professional development. As a former athlete, I subconsciously tied my self-worth and identity to my athletic success. I was an involved student and took advantage of the personal, professional and career development programming OSU athletics has to offer. When it came time to retire from the sport I loved, I found myself struggling to let go of my most salient identity; the identity that defined who I was for 16 years. These past two years provided me with the framework to develop a program that would bring me more pride than any championship. This project started as a way for me to mourn the loss of my athletic identity and begin to feel whole again. I had no idea that through this process, I would develop a program designed to serve as a one stop shop of resources, support and guidance for athletes who need help navigating life, Beyond the Athlete.
