Dr. Tyrance and Dr. NiiLampti both have first-hand knowledge of what it takes to succeed as a student-athlete. Both also have worked extensively with student-athletes in various roles and at multiple levels. Their understanding of today’s student-athlete is evident throughout the book. This is the rare book that includes sound advice on virtually all types of challenges, issues and opportunities that our student-athletes face today. As an instructor I love the end of section reflections and the various worksheets which are ready for classroom use.

The authors clearly describe how college athletics brings a unique set of challenges to an already tumultuous developmental stage of life. The literature review coupled with practical suggestions to assist with the academic, athletic, and personal transitions makes this an ideal textbook for an adjustment to college course. This book is a must-have resource for anyone working directly with college student-athletes.
