“…3Although we did not explore burnout in this study, some of our findings align closely to strategies that have been broadly proposed in the sport coaching literature to minimize burnout and optimize well-being. These include considering time for rest and recovery, counteracting a lack of control, and prioritizing self-care (e.g., see Altfield et al, 2018; Bentzen, Kenttä, & Lemyre, 2020; Higham et al, 2023; McEwen & Rowson, 2023; Pankow et al, 2022). However, we also extend the findings on organizational change, well-being, and ill-being in sport coaches by highlighting that within high-performance sport contexts where coaches may lack control, resources, or a positive person-job fit, coaches can still find proactive ways to adapt their job demands and resources for improve or restore personal meaning and purpose within their roles.…”

The purpose of this study was to explore coaches’ experiences of job crafting through a climate of organizational change in high-performance sport environments. Semi-structured interviews (Mduration = 83.86 min, SD = 26.28 min) were conducted with seven coaches (MExperience = 22 years, SD = 7.55) who had experience of coaching sport performers at international, Olympic, and professional levels. Guided by interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), the findings revealed that “the climate of organizational change” for these coaches encapsulated “job turnover” at various stages of organizational change and “working in a vacuum and losing sight of the process.” Four subordinate themes were generated to highlight coaches’ experience of “crafting the job in a climate of change.” These themes included “motives for job crafting,” “appraising and reappraising aspects of the job,” “mobilizing social and structural resources,” and “withdrawal from aspects of the job.” The findings advance job crafting theory by demonstrating how organizational change can both constrain and stimulate coaches’ job crafting efforts in particular ways. Identifying opportunities for autonomy and support resources to craft their jobs helped coaches to maintain enthusiasm and job satisfaction and continue in their jobs. To our knowledge, this is the first study in sport psychology literature to explore coaches’ experiences of job crafting within a climate of organizational change in sport. We conclude by outlining some recommendations on how job crafting may be optimized to improve well-being and performance in the elite sport working context.

Coverage of problems relating to mental health and well-being is gaining ground in the sports sector today, both in the media and in the scientific literature. Despite exposure to numerous stressors and suffering from poor mental health, coaches have in general been largely overlooked in the scientific literature. Previous studies have mainly focused upon athlete populations. The absence of research means that there are real shortcomings in both understanding the mechanisms involved in the deterioration of coaches’ mental health and well-being and in the lack of specific support systems available. This paper first describes findings from the recent, albeit quite scarce, research investigating mental health and well-being in coaches. It then proposes a number of avenues for research and support protocols, both of which are currently ongoing at the French Football Federation Research Centre. The aim is to help support these key participants in the sports sector who arguably have not been given sufficient consideration until now.
