A case study of the features and holistic athlete impacts of a UK sports-friendly school: Student-athlete, coach and teacher perspectives.

In order to understand the features of sport schools and their impacts on the holistic development of student-athletes, it is important to take into account the voice of multiple stakeholders central to the programmes (student-athletes, coaches, teachers). Through a case-study approach, using five focus groups, with 19 student-athletes, and six semi-structured interviews with three coaches and three dual coach and teachers, this study explored the perceived impacts of one sport-friendly school (pseudonym-"Salkeld High") on holistic athlete development and the features that drove these impacts. Using a critical realist approach to thematic analysis, findings indicated a multitude of immediate, intermediate and long-term positive and negative impacts associated with academic/vocational (e.g., academic security vs. second/third choice university), athletic/physical (e.g., performance development vs. injuries), psychosocial (e.g., social skills vs. social scarifies) and psychological (e.g., sport confidence vs. performance pressure) development of "Salkeld High" student-athletes. Overall, "Salkeld High" was viewed as an integrated school environment for sport, academics, and boarding, where academic (e.g., extra-tutoring), athletic (e.g., high volume/frequency of training), and psychosocial/psychological (e.g., pastoral services) features are all in one location. The student-athletes tended to get a well-rounded, balanced holistic experience. However, the intensified and challenging nature of involvement did present some negative impacts that stakeholders should be aware of when designing, implementing, and evaluating sport-friendly school programmes. Furthermore, although "Salkeld High" was seen as an integrated environment within the school, it could do better at collaborating with wider sporting structures.

Athletes' Confidence and Anxiety Management: A Review in Achieving Optimal Sport Performance

Every athlete must develop confidence to excel in their athletic endeavors. Athletes who develop confidence can overcome anxiety and achieve their goals. Because of the expectations that come with professional sports, even the best athletes experience anxiety. We looked up information on the role confidence plays in sports performance, anxiety in sports performance, causes of anxiety, anxiety management in athletes, and optimal athletic performance on Google Scholar, Microsoft Academic, PubMed, ProQuest, and Cochrane Library. According to the findings of this review, for athletes to achieve peak athletic performance, coaches, trainers, and sport psychologists must instill sports confidence in them. This must be based on the athlete's needs and may include determining where and how the athlete gains confidence, as well as ensuring that everything remains strong while training for a competition. Athletes and those who work with them should be aware of how anxiety can affect cognitive appraisals, physiological arousals, and, ultimately, performance in a variety of performance-related situations.

Does Imagery Ability Matter for the Relationship Between Temperament and Self-Confidence in Team and Individual Sport Disciplines?

The main purpose of our study was to investigate the relationship among temperamental traits, a general tendency to use imagery, and self-confidence in sport. The specific aim was to verify if general imagery mediates the relationship between temperament and self-confidence in sport, but also with respect to individual and team sport disciplines. The study involved 144 athletes aged 19–25 years (75 men and 69 women) with different lengths of training (from 1 month to 18 years) and presented different sports levels: international (n = 12), national (n = 46), and recreational (n = 86). They also represented individual (n = 73) and team (n = 68) sports. The Imagination in Sport Questionnaire (ISQ), Trait Sports Confidence Inventory (TSCI-PL), and Temperament Questionnaire (EAS) were all completed by the participants. Results indicate that self-confidence is explained in about 13% by temperament and general imagery, but only general imagery (b = 0.22; p < 0.05) and negative axes of the temperament—emotionality (b = –0.26; p < 0.05). The test of the indirect effect of the negative axes of the temperament on self-confidence through general imagery, conducted by Preacher and Hayes bootstrapping procedure, revealed significant mediation [b = 0.37; 95% CI = (0.09; 0.68); R2Med = 0.46] suggesting that about 46% of variance explained in self-confidence by emotionality is related to general imagery. The other 3% of variance explained in self-confidence by the positive temperament axes is related to general imagery, however, it was insignificant. The general imagery explains the relationship between emotionality and self-confidence only in individual sports athletes.

Changes in Training Patterns and Confidence to Return to Sport in United States Collegiate Athletes During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Objective To describe the training patterns, return to sport (RTS) confidence and perceived fitness during the COVID-19 pandemic summer 2020, and to compare training patterns and RTS readiness during COVID-19 versus during the 2019 summer in a cohort of Division III collegiate athletes. Methods An electronic survey of varsity athletes ≥18 years at 3 United States Division III colleges querying athlete demographics, Modified Athletic Identity Scale (mAIMS), changes in training regimen summer 2020 vs. 2019, RTS confidence, and perceived physical fitness. Results 192 surveys were completed (19% response). Total reported summer 2020 training decreased by 4 hours/week, with increased aerobic (56% vs. 53%, p=0.03) and decreased sport-specific training (48% vs 70%, p<0.001). Median RTS confidence score for formal training and competition was 3 (“neither more or less confident”) in men’s versus 2 (“less confident”) in women’s athletes. Median fitness self-assessment for men’s athletes was 3 (“neither more nor less physically fit”) compared to previous season versus median score of 2 (“less physically fit”) among women’s athletes (p=0.004). For each mAIMS unit, training increased by 11 minutes/week (95% CI: 2-19 minutes; p=0.01) and sport-specific training increased by 1.3% (95% CI: 0.5-2.2%; p=0.003), controlling for age, sport, grade and school. mAIMS was not associated with confidence or fitness rating. Conclusion Collegiate athletes decreased overall training hours, particularly sport-specific training time during the COVID-19 summer compared to the prior summer. Athletic identity was related to overall and sport-specific training hours, but not confidence to RTS or fitness.

Overweight preoccupation is associated with eating pathology in male collegiate athletes with body dissatisfaction.

This study examined specific aspects of body dissatisfaction and drive for muscularity as correlates of eating pathology and explored sport confidence as a moderator of these associations in male collegiate athletes. Ninety-three male collegiate athletes who endorsed body dissatisfaction and were enrolled in a body dissatisfaction intervention study completed baseline measures of appearance orientation, appearance evaluation, overweight preoccupation, muscularity-oriented attitudes and behaviors, eating pathology symptoms, and sport confidence. There were significant associations between overweight preoccupation and cognitive restraint, purging, binge eating, and excessive exercise, appearance orientation and cognitive restraint, negative appearance evaluation and restricting, muscularity-oriented attitudes and binge eating, and muscularity-oriented behaviors and excessive exercise. Low-to-moderate sport confidence moderated the association between muscularity-oriented behaviors and purging. Findings highlight a need for interventions targeting drive for muscularity and body dissatisfaction, especially overweight preoccupation, in male collegiate athletes. Findings additionally suggest a need to further examine the utility of sport confidence in prevention and intervention programs targeting eating pathology in larger samples of male athletes.
