Book excerpt: Many people have opinions and misconceptions of what college life is like for athletes. They think having a scholarship is the greatest thing in the world and life is a breeze after. While receiving an athletic scholarship is a blessing, the payment for that is not only taxing on an athlete's mind but body as well. They struggle to juggle many things during their transitional period from being just students in high school playing a sport, to emerging adults in college playing at the highest level of competition. The Reality Behind The Glamour of College Athletics highlights the reality of being a student athlete within the system of college athletics and addresses important topics and questions regarding athletic identities and retirement. There is more to what you see, and there is always a reality behind every glamour. Hear powerful experiences, stories and voices from WNBA, NFL, Professional athletes in Europe, and retired college athletes. If you were given the chance to change the current athletic system, what would you change and why?
