ObjectivesThe role of a coach in enhancing athletes’ performance and achieving success is well-documented across numerous studies. However, the strategies employed by Chinese coaches in developing world champion gymnasts remain under explored.MethodsThis research involved a single case study focusing on a coach from the Chinese National Men’s Gymnastics Team, credited with nurturing eight world champion gymnasts.ResultsThe inductive content analysis leads to that 6 subthemes, “international perspective and collaborative ability,” “ability to control and regulate training loads,” “identifying athletes’ needs and transforming them into motivation,” “goal setting aligned with athletes’ abilities,” “adopting authoritative democratic coaching style,” and “establishing hierarchical-style friendship”, and 3 themes, “training management and planning,” “motivation and goal setting,” and “interpersonal communication” are manifested. An overarching theme “the successful experience of gymnastics world champion coach,” is derived from the analysis.ConclusionThis research bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, offering valuable insights into the successful experiences of gymnastics world champion coaches. The findings have the potential to influence coaching methodologies globally, fostering the development of resilient, motivated, and high-performing athletes. Future research should focus on sport-specific studies, longitudinal analyses, and cross-cultural comparisons to further advance the field of sports coaching and validate the effectiveness of these innovative coaching strategies.

“…Anxiety can also cause unpleasant feelings and behavioral changes among athletes (12). In addition to routine stress, sports injuries can further impact athletes psychologically (13). Research on the influences of psychological factors on injury risk suggests a notable connection between high levels of stress and an increased likelihood of athletes experiencing sports injuries (14,15).…”

Background: Sports injuries can have significant psychological impacts on athletes, including increased anxiety, depression, isolation, and fear of reinjury. These mental health factors can impede physical rehabilitation. Aim: This mini review synthesizes recent literature on the psychological responses to sports injuries and argues for integrating mental health care into injury rehabilitation. Methods: The review analyzes current research on the psychological impacts of injuries on athletes across various sports and age groups. It focuses on studies highlighting emotional reactions, identity loss, isolation, fear of reinjury, and other psychological distress. Results: Injured athletes commonly experience negative emotional reactions like shock, anger, sadness, irritation, and altered sleep and appetite. They also face increased risks of anxiety, depression, isolation from teammates, loss of identity, fear of reinjury, and low motivation during rehabilitation. These psychological factors can negatively impact adherence to rehabilitation and return to sport. Conclusions: Sports medicine professionals should address mental health alongside physical rehabilitation to optimize outcomes. Recommended psychological strategies include screening, counseling, motivation techniques, goal-setting, social support, and gradual return to sport protocols. A biopsychosocial approach is necessary to properly care for the whole athlete.
