Many scholars believe that due to the intensity of college sport, student-athletes are denied a well-rounded experience. Although previous research has focused on the educational experiences of the general student-athlete population, few studies have focused on the culture that constructs the overall student-athlete experience. The authors utilized Riessman's (2008) narrative methodology to reveal the genuine human experience and assist in mobilizing action for progressive social change. The data was collected via semi-structured interviews and journal entries to examine the embodied in-season experience of one athletically gifted Cuban Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) football student-athlete. Open coding revealed four major themes that are discussed: football, identity, social support, and stereotype. This study is one of the first to explore both the experience of a FCS student-athlete and shed light on a Cuban football student-athlete's experience.
