| Abstract | Historically, the absence of Asian-Pacific Islanders (APIs) from college sports has been due largely to the lack of role models in professional and amateur leagues. For years, coaches on the recruiting trail overlooked Asian athletes, often dismissing them as too small, too slow and too wrapped up in their studies. API parents, meanwhile, often discouraged their children from becoming jocks out of fear they would derail their grades and, consequently, their job prospects. Some sports pundits believe that because some APIs earn above-average family incomes, they aren't as motivated to pursue sports as a pathway to college. And many APIs still tend to view sports more as recreation than as a potential career field, which might explain why APIs are more likely to participate in lower-revenue sports, not the big money programs. This article reports how Asian collegiate athletes are slowly changing perceptions after decades of watching from the sidelines. (ERIC). |
