ATHLETICS TOPICS

It's How You Balance the Scales

The student-athlete who approaches academics with the same fervor that he or she applies to athletics has replaced the stereotypical "dumb jock" of yesteryear. Being a student-athlete can be a tough task, though. Learn how to balance academics and athletics from a former St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds infielder in this presentation.

NJCAA Athletics and Academics

Student athletes don't just step on the court or field. Behind the scenes are a number of regulations, which serve as a foundation of student athletics at the community college and university levels. The regulations were put in place to ensure the successful completion of academic goals. Learn more about National Junior College Athletic Association and National Collegiate Athletic Association regulations governing student athletics and the impact the regulations have on the student athlete and the community college learning environment.
