12018-03-16T01:52:46-04:00Introducing Action Research1plain2018-04-18T00:43:31-04:00To further investigate the impact of relationships between teammates on the college experience, I will observe and interview Harvard's Women's Varsity Ice Hockey Team. Although ice hockey is vastly different from rowing, it is my understanding that the teams have similarly demanding schedules, similarly specialized equipment, and a similar team dynamic overall. This investigation will act as a basis of comparison as I analyze the comparative benefits between informal and formal mentorship.
I hope to address the following:
Is mentorship between teammates a universal experience among college athletes?
Are informal or formal mentorship more beneficial to individual athletes as they transition to college?
Should mentorship always be formal or is it better that they are formed organically?
If mentorship is left to be formed organically, will there be mentorship?
