With concussion symptom-hiding continuing to pervade athletics at all levels, the obvious question to pose would be: why are student athletes hiding such serious symptoms and putting their lives at risk?This qualitative study aims at developing grounded theoretical conceptualizations of the dynamics and components of meaning making as experienced by pre-college (middle and high school) student athletes relative to the concussion phenomenon. Such an understanding will: (1) allow student athletes to claim the authority of their own experiences, liberate themselves from the potentially negative constraints of influencing individuals and their past experiences, and self-author their unique paths as they explore their sports careers and (2) inform necessary improvements to current concussion education, identification, management and conceptualization by listening to the story of the student athlete. 2017-05-08 English text Ohio University Honors Tutorial College / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ouhonors1493379119205207 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ouhonors1493379119205207 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
