Participation of both Hispanic and international student-athletes at the intercollegiate level has more than doubled in the past decade. Despite this growth, little is known about the Hispanic International Student-Athlete (ISA) experience. Using Critical Race Theory (CRT) as a framework, the purpose of this study was to examine the experiences of Hispanic ISAs. Semistructured interviews were conducted with Hispanic ISAs on varsity sport teams at NCAA Division I universities in the Midwestern U.S. Language was the predominant theme that made the collective experience most difficult. While a supportive social network served as exchangeable cultural capital useful for navigating a new environment, imbalance still existed in participants' lives due to discontinuity between the demands of being an intercollegiate studentathlete and ingrained cultural identities. The study offers practical recommendations for stakeholders, including administrators, coaches, and support personnel, who work with Hispanic ISAs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
