“…These findings were echoed by Isoard-Gautheur et al (2016) who reported that a stronger perceived coach–athlete relationship was associated with mastery-approach goals. There is also evidence that links goals with how an athlete evaluates stress (Nicholls et al, 2014, 2016a). Athletes who adopt mastery-approach goals are more likely to view stressful situations as challenging, whereas athletes who endorse mastery-avoidance or performance-avoidance are more likely to experience threat when in stressful situations (Nicholls et al, 2014).…”

Further, athletes who use goal re-engagement strategies are likely to experience challenge states, whereas goal disengagement strategies are more likely to generate threat appraisals (Nicholls et al, 2016a).…”

All football teams that compete within the F. A. Premier League possess an academy, whose objective is to produce more and better home-grown players that are capable of playing professionally. These young players spend a large amount of time with their coach, but little is known about player’s perception of the coach–athlete relationship within F. A. Premier League Academies. The objectives of this study were to examine whether perceptions of the coach–athlete relationship changed over six months and if the coach–athlete relationship predicted self-reported goal achievement among F. A. Premier League academy players. This study included cross-sectional (n = 104) and longitudinal (n = 52) assessments, in which academy soccer players completed a measure of the coach–athlete relationship and goal achievement across either one or two time periods. The cross-sectional data were subjected to bivariate correlations, whereas the longitudinal data were analyzed using multiple regressions. Perceptions of the coach–athlete relationship remained stable over time. The coach–athlete relationship predicted the achievement of mastery goals six months later. Enhancing the quality of the coach–athlete relationship among elite adolescent athletes appears to be a suitable way of maximizing mastery achievement goals, particularly among developmental athletes who participate in team sports.

“…While there is an inherent relationship between the key constructs of the CMRT of emotion (Lazarus, ), researchers have essentially focused on one or two constructs (e.g., Nicholls et al., ). Very few studies have explored the overall sequence of the constructs central to the CMRT of emotion (e.g., Nicholls et al., , ; Doron & Gaudreau, ; Doron & Martinent, ). Using structural equation modeling, Nicholls et al.…”

Understanding more about the stress process is important for the performance of athletes during stressful situations. Grounded in Lazarus's (1991, 1999, 2000) CMRT of emotion, this study tracked longitudinally the relationships between cognitive appraisal, coping, emotions, and performance in nine elite fencers across 14 international matches (representing 619 momentary assessments) using a naturalistic, video-assisted methodology. A series of hierarchical linear modeling analyses were conducted to: (a) explore the relationships between cognitive appraisals (challenge and threat), coping strategies (task- and disengagement oriented coping), emotions (positive and negative) and objective performance; (b) ascertain whether the relationship between appraisal and emotion was mediated by coping; and (c) examine whether the relationship between appraisal and objective performance was mediated by emotion and coping. The results of the random coefficient regression models showed: (a) positive relationships between challenge appraisal, task-oriented coping, positive emotions, and performance, as well as between threat appraisal, disengagement-oriented coping and negative emotions; (b) that disengagement-oriented coping partially mediated the relationship between threat and negative emotions, whereas task-oriented coping partially mediated the relationship between challenge and positive emotions; and (c) that disengagement-oriented coping mediated the relationship between threat and performance, whereas task-oriented coping and positive emotions partially mediated the relationship between challenge and performance. As a whole, this study furthered knowledge during sport performance situations of Lazarus's (1999) claim that these psychological constructs exist within a conceptual unit. Specifically, our findings indicated that the ways these constructs are inter-related influence objective performance within competitive settings.

“…Além disso, a competição pode ser caracterizada como uma situação que envolve ego, novidade, ansiedade, falta de controle e imprevisibilidade, podendo levar a propriedades afetivas negativas 30 . Porém, como o estresse é composto por variáveis muito subjetivas, os resultados podem variar de acordo com a experiência anterior dos sujeitos com eventos competitivos, o tipo de trabalho psicológico que os atletas recebem para conseguir criar estratégias de controle do estresse (coping), qual o nível de cobrança que os jogadores tem para aquela competição analisada, o nível de motivação e outras razões que podem modificar as respostas emocionais associadas ao estresse [31][32][33] . Em conclusão, a carga interna competitiva teve efeito progressivo em função dos três jogos consecutivos, da mesma forma que a percepção subjetiva de esforço, demonstrando que este tipo de competição pode promover uma demanda fisiológica e psicológica que pode refletir no desempenho de jovens escolares que estão inseridos em programas de treinamento sistemá-tico de alguma modalidade esportiva.…”

RESUMOObjetivo: monitorar a carga interna competitiva por meio da percepção subjetiva de esforço da sessão (PSE-sessão) e avaliar a tolerância ao estresse em escolares sub-17, durante três jogos consecutivos de basquetebol. Método: a amostra foi composta por dez jovens jogadores de basquetebol (16,2 ±0,78 anos; 173,8 ± 6,77 cm; 68,3 ±9,80 kg). A variação dos sinais e sintomas de estresse foi verificada por meio do questionário Daily Analysis of Life Demands in Athletes (DALDA). Foram quantificadas a duração das partidas e a PSE-sessão para determinação da carga interna. Resultados: foi verificada diferença significativa na carga interna competitiva dada pela PSE da sessão, do jogo um para o jogo três (p < 0,001) e do jogo 2 para o jogo 3 (p = 0,045) (F = 9,94); já o número de respostas "piores que o normal" dos sinais (p = 0,590) e sintomas de estresse (p = 0,910) não diferiram entre os momentos pré e pós-competição. Considerações finais: foi observado que a carga interna competitiva obtida pela PSE da sessão teve os valores aumentados proporcionalmente em função do acúmulo dos jogos realizados, demonstrando que esse instrumento pode ser sensível para determinar a carga interna competitiva em jovens atletas escolares sub-17.
