“…Our findings underlined the importance of psychosocial support from family, friends, and coaches, which has been well documented in previous research with elite athletes (Greenleaf et al, 2001;Brown et al, 2019;Teques et al, 2019;Samuel et al, 2020;Walton et al, 2021). Whilst most athletes indicated a strong sense of support from friends, family, and coaches, levels of organizational support were vastly different for all athletes in this study.…”

Exploring the Experiences and Well-Being of Australian Rio Olympians During the Post-Olympic Phase: A Qualitative Study

Research about the Olympic Games has primarily focused on preparing athletes for competition. Less attention has been paid to the post-Olympic-phase (POP) and athlete well-being during this time. This study explored Australian Olympic athletes’ experiences following the conclusion of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, including the factors that may have contributed to or challenged their well-being during this time. Eighteen athletes participated in semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis revealed that when Olympic performance appraisal met prior expectations, when athletes planned for a return to work or study, and when support from a variety of sources was readily available, this positively influenced athletes’ well-being during the POP. When these factors were not in place, more challenging post-Games experiences were present, and well-being was compromised. The findings contribute to the broader literature on elite athlete well-being and at an applied level, may be used to inform targeted programs that focus on supporting athletes after an Olympic campaign.

“…The importance of support from family and friends has been well documented in previous research on elite athlete development (Côté, 1999), performance (Gould & Maynard, 2009;Teques, Calmeiro, Rosado, Silva, & Serpa, 2019) and transitions post career (Brown, Webb, Robinson, & Cotgreave, 2019;Wylleman & Lavallee, 2004). Our findings align with these sentiments, having found that family and friends⎯within and beyond sport⎯provide a crucial social network for athlete wellbeing during the post-Olympic period.…”

Background: While research into Olympic Athletes' career transitions and retirement has led to a deeper understanding of important factors for athletes in this context, considerably less is known about the experiences of athletes in the immediate phase following an Olympic Games.Objectives: The purpose of this research was to investigate Australian Olympic athletes' experiences during the period of time immediately following the conclusion of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. This involved investigating specific factors that influenced athletes' postgames realities of success, failure, and return to everyday life. Design: Qualitative-inductiveMethods: Eighteen Australian Rio Olympic Games athletes (Female N=9, Male N=9) from a variety of team and individual sports participated in semi-structured interviews that explored their post-Olympic Games experiences. Thematic analysis was used to inductively analyse the data. Results:In the period immediately following the Rio Olympic campaign, many athletes felt a sense of relief before coming to terms with a post-Olympic 'come down'. While positive and negative transitions back to reality following the Rio Games were influenced by performance expectations, positive transitions generally occurred when athletes had made plans for the post-Games phase and received strong support from family, teammates, and sport governing bodies. Conversely, negative experiences tended to occur where funding ceased, coachathlete relationships fell apart, or team structures were dissolved following the Olympic event.Conclusions: Overall, athletes had a variety of experiences during the post-Olympic period and as such, it is critical to consider their needs individually. The findings of this project have implications at the micro (athlete, coach) and macro (National Sport Organisation) levels that could be used to better inform the targeted development of post-Olympic programs.

“…Parents are willing to work with coaches and medical teams to monitor an athlete's activity when out of reach of a coach or when leaving boarding house and returning to live with parents (for example: supervising an athlete' routines to conform to a diet or physical exercise program established by the coach and medical team, supervise an athlete's leisure or playing activities so as not to affect rest time, strive to provide nutritional support (food, drinks, and supplements) for an athlete according to their available funds, and attend training sessions or competitions if needed). Parents are able to manage emotional demands of a competition (for example: not showing behavior that tends to suppress or intimidate an athlete according to their expectations as parents) (Nunomura & Oliveira, 2013;Teques et al, 2019). This parenting is component forms of social integration, instrumental support, information support, and emotional support.…”

Sports orientation is one of the important factors for improving an athletes’ performance in achieving sports achievements. This study aims to determine the effect of parental social support and gender on athlete’s sports orientation. Quantitative approach was used as the research method of this study with a correlational research design. The subjects of study were 86 athletes (53.49 % women) at the Students Sports Training Center (SSTC) of DKI Jakarta Province who were selected through convenience sampling technique. Demographic data questionnaires, Parents Social Support Scale and Sport Orientation Questionnaires were used as the measuring instruments. Data analysis uses linear regression (simple and multiple) techniques show results as follows: (1) Parental social support has a significant effect on athletes’ sports orientation (tcount = 4.396 > ttable = 1.988); (2) Gender does not have a significant effect on athletes’ sports orientation (tcount = 1.891 < ttable = 1.988); (3) Parental social support and gender can simultaneously predict athletes’ sports orientation (Fcount = 12.93 > Ftable = 2.49). The effective contribution of parental social support and gender simultaneously toward athletes’ sports orientation is 21.9 % and the rest is influenced by other factors outside the study. The role of parental social support (17.75 %) is more dominant than gender (4.14 %)
