The method used to explore the research question was a qualitative case study approach. This approach will allow the reader to gain an in-depth understanding of the participant’s perspectives (Creswell, 2007). That is, the participant was given the opportunity to expand upon the pressures and demands of trying to address the overall development of being a student-athlete and future teacher at an NCAA Division I university. A case study requires “extensive material from multiple sources of information to provide an in-depth picture of the case” (Creswell, 2007, p. 96). Multiple data sources included journal entries, student teaching commentaries involving lesson planning, instruction, and assessment, videos, and interviews.
