Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a psychological skills training (goal setting, self-confidence, cognitive restructuring, self-talk, and image training) and counseling program on injured high school athletes’ rehabilitation process, specifically stress management, self-confidence, and performance. Basic psychological tests were conducted three times (second, ninth, and nineteen sessions), including desperation, stress, resilience, sports performance strategies. The results were summarized as follows. First, the psychological skills training and counseling program had a positive impact on injured high school athletes’ desperation to overcome the injury. Second, the psychological skills training and counseling program was effective for injured high school athletes in coping with stress by converting negative emotions into positive ones during the rehabilitation process. Third, the psychological skills training and counseling program had a positive effect on injured high school athletes’ resilience despite the difficulties encountered in the rehabilitation process. Fourth, the psychological skills training and counseling program had a positive influence on overall sports performance strategies, and it also changed gradually as the sessions progressed. In conclusion, it is expected that psychological skills training and counseling programs will be helpful for injured high school athletes to guide the right direction and method during their rehabilitation process.
