Abstract
This chapter reviews relevant literature regarding coping, social support, and emotion regulation processes in sport teams. It argues that in order to advance our understanding of coping in sport and provide useful advice for coaches and practitioners, it is important to consider the social context within which athletes coping are embedded. The chapter presents some emerging conceptual considerations from the sport psychology literature, and presents the distinction between intrapersonal and interpersonal perspectives of coping and emotion regulation. Intrapersonal perspectives of coping and emotion regulation focus on individual athletes perceptions of stressors, their emotions, coping, and outcomes. There are different types of social support that athletes may experience, including emotional support, informational support, esteem support, and tangible support. The chapter describes theory and research relating to interpersonal emotion regulation and communal coping that could inform future research and applied work among athletes.
