Abstract
Sports injuries can potentially have many adverse effects upon the athletes that suffer the injury, from loss of confidence to increased anxiety (Day, et. al, 2012). Additionally, the effects of an injury can become more complicated when multiple identities are involved; with college athletes that are both students and athletes, the athletes can experience identity confusion following an injury (Tamminen, et. al, 2012). After searching Google Scholar and PSYCinfo, around ten empirical articles and/or book chapters were found on this subject. This dearth of research presents an opportunity to both clinicians and researchers for further research.
