It is official: my study has been approved!
Needless to say, when I was notified that I can commence my research, I was overjoyed and grateful to GOD. During every free moment, I have worked on my dissertation, from my concept proposal to my proposal defense to my research proposal ~ it surely has paid off!
Here is more information about my study:
I am surveying Texas student-athletes on their perceptions of how their college coaches’ leadership influences their academic and athletic performance, as well as their athlete satisfaction. Based on my own studies of leadership, this element is essential:
***VISION***
When I asked my former boss at the first college where I taught what she needed to complete her Ph.D., she pointed out to me:
***PERSEVERANCE***
When I asked my former office next door neighbor at that same school what got her through her terminal degree, she told out me:
***ENDURANCE***
… which also helped her with her first 5K race, which we randomly ran together!
