| Abstract | The purpose of this collective case study was to examine the role of sports participation in the academic success of African American male administrators. Critical Race Theory (CRT) provided a theoretical framework for this study. According to CRT proponents, the school experiences of many African American boys consist of a curriculum of control and discipline rather than focused attention on academic achievement, student learning, and creating culturally responsive environments. This learning environment forces students to adapt to teaching methods that were not intended to inspire or motivate their cultural views. Sports may serve as an important corrective to these practices. Data was collected by interviewing 11 educators via zoom using an open-ended narrative triangular approach where coaches and teachers connected to the participants were also interviewed. The primary findings of the study indicate that a positive connection exists between sports in motivating African American males to find success in the classroom cultivating the protective factors of positive personal identity, connections to mentors, and a growing recognition of structural racism. However, the support that has been provided to Black males to overcome the barriers that have been embedded in the American school system will require additional research. In particular, this study shows how to incorporate the positive structure that sports participation provides for marginalized students in order to close the achievement gap in schools.
