Abstract
Professional athletes occupy a unique space in the American landscape as they excel in sports and become role models, but they can encounter resentment when they advocate as American citizens. Student-Athletes are no different. From P-20, student-athletes are part of billion dollar industries that cater to the competitive U.S. spirit, and the entwinement of sports and education remains a multi-faceted enterprise that helps students fulfill hopes and dreams as athletes but can also complicate their lives and educational experiences. This session brings together researchers and organizational leaders to examine pressing concerns of P-20 student-athletes, including the ethical and equity dilemmas faced in schools and higher education institutions, the strengths and challenges of earning paid endorsements, and the rewards and consequences for speaking out about injustices.
