Abstract
This study explores the impact of family involvement on the career orientation of Indigenous baseball student athletes, considering the mediating roles of peer and coach support. Using Structural Equation Modeling, data were collected from 354 Indigenous student athletes registered on a regional baseball network between October and December 2022. The analysis reveals that family involvement directly influences career orientation significantly and also indirectly affects it through the mechanisms of peer and coach support. The findings highlight the critical need for integrated support from families, schools, and communities to foster the educational achievements and career orientations of these athletes. Recommendations include strengthening parental guidance, enhancing school support, and promoting community collaboration to provide extensive educational and training opportunities. It is crucial that schools, families, and sports clubs work together to develop tailored programs that address the unique cultural and social challenges faced by Indigenous student athletes. This collaborative approach aims to improve not only the athletes' career development but also their overall well-being, emphasizing the importance of a holistic support system that considers the socio-economic and cultural dynamics influencing these athletes. Furthermore, the study advocates for policies that recognize the distinctive needs and contributions of Indigenous athletes in sports, fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment. Engaging with the broader community and leveraging cultural strengths can enhance these initiatives, promoting lasting benefits for Indigenous student athletes.
