“…To obtain a successful support provision, the importance of applied sport psychology practitioners to thoroughly learn about the sport and its conditions is well documented (e.g., Ravizza, 1988; Gould et al, 1991; Pain and Harwood, 2004). Sport specific support can also be sought through the use of mentors and their effectiveness is well established within other areas of sport (e.g., women coaches; Vinson et al, 2016), and many North American sport programs use mentors extensively with student-athletes (e.g., Perna et al, 1996; Hoffmann and Loughead, 2016); however, their use in European academic-sport programs to promote athletes’ health and high performance has not been as well documented or evaluated.…”

Research examining the student-athlete experience proposes a number of factors that can be both sources of stress and/or support. The dual career pathway offers a number of potential positive outcomes including psychological, social, and financial benefits; however, challenges including time management, fatigue, and restricted social activities are well documented. In consideration of the multidimensional student-athlete experience and the numerous factors that influence the complexity of potential stress, a mixed methods research study design was used in the study. First, data collected from surveys completed by 173 elite junior alpine skiers were analyzed to identify the degree to which athletes report experiencing stress associated with specific aspects pertaining to training, life, and organizational factors. These factors were then explored through semi-structured interviews with six coaches at the associated national elite sport schools. Taken collectively, athletes’ reports of psychophysiological training stress on the Multidimensional Training Distress Scale were low. Scores on the college student-athletes’ life stress scale revealed very low levels of general life stress; although the subscales associated with “performance demand” and “academic requirements” scored marginally higher. Scores on the Organizational Stressor Indicator for Sport Performers indicated low levels of organizational stress. The interviews with coaches elucidated the underlying factors potentially influencing athletes’ positive adaptations to stress as they reported programming a number of strategies to reduce negative outcomes. Coaches aimed to teach athletes self-awareness and regulation strategies through the use of the training diaries and ongoing communication to promote positive adaptation to stress. A number of coaches also worked with sport psychology consultants to optimize athletes’ training and study situations. Traditionally, research has noted high levels of stress in student-athletes due to co-occurring demands (school & sport); however, the data in the present study suggests that optimizing support mechanisms across domains can promote positive adaptations to potential sources of stress.

“…Novamente, a interação de Fernanda com pares em sua trajetória representou influências e orientações fundamentais para o seu aprendizado e motivação diante das inseguranças. Alguns estudos com treinadores mostraram a importância e benefícios dessas interações que transmitem e orientam o aprendizado profissional na carreira, ampliando competência e conhecimento sem deixar de enfatizar a autonomia dos próprios treinadores (SAWIUK; TAYLOR; GROOM, 2017;VINSON et al, 2016;RODRIGUES et al, 2020). Diferentemente ao que se destaca na literatura para a ascensão de mulheres no esporte (LaVOI; DUTOVE, 2012), é possível dizer que Fernanda não atestou a falta de apoio, o isolamento ou as interações negativas com seus colegas treinadores como barreiras em sua trajetória.…”

“…Especificamente na trajetória de Fernanda, essa "abertura" de oportunidades foi mediada pela CBT, COSAT e ITF, que demonstraram se preocupar com a participação de treinadoras em torneios. Na prática, isso significa remover as barreiras de contratação e oportunizar -até mesmo estimular -a liberdade das mulheres enquanto treinadoras para atuarem de maneira efetiva (VINSON et al, 2016;ROMARIZ, VOTRE;MOURÃO, 2012;ALLEN;SHAW, 2009).…”

O objetivo do estudo foi investigar as experiências que contribuíram para a ascensão de uma treinadora brasileira de tênis no alto rendimento. Para isso, esta pesquisa descritiva de abordagem qualitativa foi orientada por meio de um estudo de caso único. No momento do estudo, Fernanda tinha 30 anos de idade e 12 anos de experiência como treinadora em nível nacional e internacional. Enquanto estratégias para a coleta dos dados, foram utilizados nesta ordem: a Rappaport timeline e a entrevista semiestruturada. A análise desses dados foi conduzida por meio das orientações da análise temática reflexiva. Os resultados versam pelos seguintes temas: (a) Influência, Conexão e Inspiração: Personagens Fundamentais; (b) Perfil Promissor e Acolhimento no Contexto; e (c) Desenvolvimento Enquanto Treinadora: Os Constantes Aprendizados e Questionamentos no Percurso. De modo geral, Fernanda teve uma trajetória orientada por relações de influência com personagens de seu contexto. Os momentos fora de sua zona de conforto contribuíram para a definição de estratégias que visem suprir as necessidades e avançar perante as barreiras identificadas.

“…From the 101 original research manuscripts, a total of 24,991 participants were sampled. Most participants were coaches (78.3%; e.g., Rathwell et al, 2014), followed by athletes (17.8%; e.g., Rottensteiner et al, 2015), other sport professionals (5.7%; e.g., administrators, Vinson et al, 2016), and non-sport-related adults (3.3%; e.g., general population; Al-Emadi et al, 2018). Male participants were most commonly assessed across studies (63.2%).…”

The purpose of this commentary is to provide a broad overview of the empirical research-based articles published in the International Sport Coaching Journal from its inception in 2014 through 2020. Data from 101 publications were collected and analyzed using Arksey and O’Malley’s six-stage framework for conducting scoping reviews. Data were extracted on the size and scope of research, populations and perspectives studied, and methodologies and data collection methods used. The results show that empirical research publications grew more prominent over time (i.e., 24.0% of 2014 publications vs. 58.1% of 2020 publications) compared with other publication types. The most commonly researched topics included coach development and coach behaviors. The participants most studied were male coaches, performance sport coaches, and adult sport coaches, featuring primarily European and North American coaches. The majority of studies used a qualitative methodology with the most common research designs being phenomenological and case studies. A variety of data collection methods were used that involved one-on-one interviews and questionnaires. Several recommendations are advanced to stakeholders, including strategies to promote racial and gender diversity and to collect and report demographic data on race and coaching experience.
