dc.description.abstract Female student athletes at junior colleges across the country are competing in college sports that require different motivations and time management skills to be successful. The purpose of this study is to examine junior college female student athlete’s motivations and time management skills based on their daily training demands. An explanatory sequential mixed methods design was utilized to compare sport, race, and academic year amongst junior college female student athletes in the states of Georgia and Florida. The quantitative portion of the study examined sport and race as it relates to academic, athletic, and career motivation on the Student Athletes Motivation on Sport and Academics Questionnaire (SAMSAQ) instrument. Additionally, the Time Management Survey (TMS) instrument examined sport and academic year as it relates to time management skills based on the daily training demands of the junior college female student athletes. For the qualitative portion of the study six focus group discussions took place to gain more insight on the quantitative results. The results from the observed research concludes that female student athletes for this study regardless of race, sport, and academic year are comparatively motivated to be successful in the classroom, and they prioritize their time spent on academics regardless of their daily training demands. Additionally, female student athletes in the sport of basketball tend to have higher career aspirations to play at the professional level. Speculation of these results is related to the small percentage of female student athletes that need their college sport to stay focused to attain a degree even though they still have hopes to make a professional career out of their sport. en_US
