Little has been written about the problems student-athletes encounter in attempting to balance their sports with the grueling demand for academic success in classrooms. As a resource guide for professionals, Champions in the Classroom offers a model and historical perspective for understanding the challenges faced by "student-athletes" while providing solutions and guidance to put the needed emphasis on "student." Penny Turrentine also provides a "Playbook," written in jargon that athletes understand, which offers students the methods for not only testing themselves but to easily understand their strengths and weaknesses. This book strives to conquer academic problems that student-athletes face and shows how to win in the classroom.
Penny Turrentine, PhD, has worked with student athletes for over twenty-seven years, the experience opening her eyes to the parallels between the skills learned on the playing field or courts and those that make for successful students. Out of her passion to help our athletes excel at academics, she wrote Champions in the Classroom. For more information you can visit her website www.championsintheclassroom.com.
