Coaching Critical Thinking: Tutoring Athletes Toward Self-sufficiency.

Wright, Robin Redmon

Journal of College Reading and Learning, v31 n2 p157-70 Spr 2001

Examines reasons for the resistance and resentment of many student athletes to working with writing tutors. Discusses successful intervention strategies for dealing with counter-productive behavior. Argues that the resultant learning not only enriches the athletes, but the entire academic community, since their stories are a tremendous asset for all. (SR)
