Methods: Participants are 87 middle and high school athletes and 116 college students. Data were collected from open questionnaire using online. The questionnaire conducted on consisting of daily life, study, training, and future career areas and metaphor. The collected data were categorized into inductive content analysis according to the category of metaphor based on metaphor analysis by using the grounded theory of Saban(2007). Results: Analysis through systematic metaphor analysis resulted in a total of three metaphor categories: Obstacle’, ‘The road not taken’, ‘An Oasis in the desert’. The results of inductive categorization in four areas based on metaphor categories were commonly reported in daily life and training areas. Maintain Social distancing was performed due to concerns over infection prevention, reducing exercise motivation and difficulty in systematic training due to absence of feedback. On the other hand, the experience of various experiences and new learning, the time of reflection through recharging, and the experience of positive emotions through efficient learning and self-directed training were recognized as meaningful events.. Conclusion: The student athlete's experience with the COVID-19 incident through metaphor analysis recognized the limitations of training, the anxiety of future career due to the loss of opportunities for participation, and the change of learning environment as major difficulties. However, learning how to cope with a crisis and learning new opportunities other than exercise were also a time for positive coping experiences. Metaphors are formed on the basis of experience and serve as filters for recognition. Metaphors play an important role in changing a person’s perception and attitude, and the progress of counseling using them makes it easier to understand a person's feelings or thoughts. We hope that this research will be used as a basis for research using metaphor in psychological counseling in the sports psychology.
