“…Social support is multidimensional, consisting of four types (i.e., emotional, instrumental, informational, esteem; Burleson et al, 2002; Freeman, 2020) and has been shown to be beneficial to athletes in a number of ways. Research has found that social support from coaches, teammates, friends, family, and sport administrators are beneficial for college athlete mental health and well-being and decreases burnout (Cho et al, 2020; DeFreese & Smith, 2013, 2014; Gabana et al, 2017; Hagiwara et al, 2017) and social support from teammates, coaches, and athletic trainers has related to improved recovery, well-being, satisfaction, and resilience (e.g., Corbillon et al, 2008; Galli & Vealey, 2008; Judge et al, 2012; Lu & Hsu, 2013). Emerging research on support for athlete activism, while limited, has found that perception of support is an important aspect of athletes’ experience engaging in activism (Martin et al, 2022).…”

The last several years have been met with increased instances of athlete activism among college athletes. Little research, though, has investigated athlete activism among white college athletes. The present study adopted an interpretive-constructivist approach to conduct semistructured interviews with 12 white college athletes engaging in racial justice activism. Interviews aimed to develop a heightened understanding of the challenges and supports they experienced in their activism. White college athletes cited several challenges to and supports for engaging in racial justice activism. Challenges included resource deficits (e.g., lack of support), intrapersonal concerns (e.g., lack of confidence), and other external threats (e.g., difficulty balancing social justice with preexisting relationships with loved ones). Supports included individual-level support (e.g., advice from others) and institutional-level support (e.g., resources from university administrators). Findings show participants experienced more challenges than supports. Further, some challenges are unique to white athletes including struggles in engaging in racial justice activism with ingroup members (i.e., other white people). Meanwhile, support from universities, mentors, and family members was important to encouraging racial justice activism among the participants. Higher education administrators, sport psychology consultants, and other sport leaders can use this information to empower white college athletes to navigate the challenges associated with engaging in racial justice activism.

“…The support is given by the spectators and teammates during the match also affects the athlete's achievement. Teammate support had a positive influence on subjective well-being through positive emotion [19]. It was proven that during the race, the voices of the spectators were very busy supporting and watching the athletes competing so that the participants thought that their spirit and motivation would also increase.…”

This study aims to determine the perception of local athletes participating in the Samosir Ultra Marathon based on ambience, achievement, escape, satisfaction and behavioral intention after participating in the championship. The championships that are followed can determine the athlete's perception of participating in this event the following year and can promote friends and family to take part in this championship. The research method used is mixed methods with a sample of 87 local athletes determined by purposive sampling. The results of this study indicate that Ambience gets a score of 885 with a percentage of 84.77%, achievement score 931 with a percentage of 89.18%, escape scores 1237 with a percentage of 88.86%, satisfaction score 548 with a percentage of 83.91% and Behavioral Intention score 606 with a percentage of 87.07%. According to them, the ambience and support from the spectators during the race was very good so that the athletes could achieve their goals by participating in the event. Athletes can also evaluate the results of the race well. All athletes can escape the routine of life and emotions for a while by participating in this event. They are also satisfied with their decision to participate in this event because it is only held once a year and is an international event. As many as 81.61% of the athletes said they wanted to participate in this event next year and wanted to recommend this championship to their friends and family. Ambience, achievement, and escape have a positive effect on satisfaction of athletes based on their experience in participating in this championship, so they want to participate in next year and sports management must maintain its quality in organizing marathon events and be managed properly.

“…In the sport context, several studies have explicitly investigated social support, with a majority of those studies investigating collegiate athlete perceptions of general support. For example, multiple studies have demonstrated that high levels of perceived social support from teammates, coaches, athletics department staff, family, and friends have positive impacts on mental health and well-being as well as were related to lower levels of burnout (Cho et al, 2020;DeFreese & Smith, 2013Gabana et al, 2017;Hagiwara et al, 2017;Sullivan et al, 2020). Further, higher levels of perceived social support from strength and conditioning coaches, athletic trainers, coaches, and teammates were recognized by athletes as having a large impact on their recovery, value of rehabilitation, feelings of well-being, and overall satisfaction (Barefield & McCallister, 1997;Bone & Fry, 2006;Corbillon et al, 2008;Judge et al, 2012;Lu & Hsu, 2013).…”

Recently, collegiate athletes have used their platform to promote positive social change. Some possibilities for the increase of activism is athletes’ perceptions of societal issues and support from key social agents. However, these perceptions have been largely unexplored. The current study aimed to address those gaps by investigating collegiate athletes’ perceptions and investigating if various demographic characteristics influence the likelihood of activism engagement. Participants (n = 4,473) completed self-report scales on social justice causes and perceived support. For this sample, athletes who identified as male, Black, and More than One Race engaged in activism at a higher rate than expected and a majority of participants viewed all social issues as social justice causes. In terms of support, athletes viewed higher levels of general support than instrumental support and approval for engaging in activism and rated parents, friends, and teammates as most supportive in all three support categories. Activists, compared to non-activists, were more likely to view social issues as social justice related and rated most social agents as more approving of their own activism. Findings indicate that perceptions of social issues and support from social agents, especially non-sport social agents, might be one reason for collegiate athletes’ participation in activism.
