You should explain the pertinent disorders with percentages of both male and female student-athletes, provide a description of what you have observed through your research, and suggest specific strategies for assistance to student-athletes with behavioral disorders. Lastly, write a proposal detailing how you would build a model for assistance options in an intercollegiate athletic department.

Include the following in your paper:

Types of behavioral disorders associated with the student-athlete

Behavioral disorders more prevalent among male student-athletes

Behavioral disorders more prevalent among female student-athletes
