“…These systems include the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem, and chronosystem (Bronfenbrenner, 1977;Bronfenbrenner, 1994). Ecological systems theory has been used in sport research to examine the development of sport talent (Krebs, 2009), the experiences of male college athletes at National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) institutions (Cooper et al, 2017), parental involvement in youth sport (Holt et al, 2008), sport for development programs (Burnett, 2015), cognition and action in sport and exercise (Araújo & Davids, 2009), and models of physical activity (Spence & Lee, 2003). Ecological systems theory also has been used to examine youth Bowling Green State University -https://scholarworks.bgsu.edu/jade/ JADE programs beyond sport (Duerden & Witt, 2010).…”

“…However, it seems once they come in contact with the team, individuality is lost and the individual meshes with the team. It seems that once on the team players start achieving similar lower GPAs and start to feel academically detached from the other students who are not athletes (Adler and Adler 1985;Cokley et al 2015;Cooper, Davis, and Dougherty 2017). The hours and amount of practice athletes are required to participate in foster the disengagement towards academics (Eitzen 1987).…”
