“…Mental skills training programs have been successfully implemented with athletes, [34][35][36][37] performing artists, [38][39] military personnel, 40 business professionals, 41 and police special forces. 42 Moreover, some studies have indicated that comprehensive mental skills training curricula can offer even greater benefits to performance than single-skill interventions, as they aid performers' flexibility to manage a variety of situations.…”

“…At a time when researchers are searching for new psychological constructs to help explain sport achievement variability (Burton, 1993;Greenspan & Feltz, 1989;Hall & Byrne, 1988;Kirschenbaum, 1984;Martens, Vealey, & Burton, 1990;Raglin, 1992;Vealey, 1992;Whelan, Mahoney, & Meyers, 1991), the present series of studies sought to explore one such new concept, hope, and its potential positive role in athletes' academic and sport achievements. Beyond the potential implications that hope may have for researchers focused on sports achievements, this hope construct also may offer insights for personality researchers who are examining motivational factors that may be common to high achievers in other performance settings.…”

Hope is the sum of goal thoughts as tapped by pathways and agency. Pathways reflect the perceived capability to produce goal routes; agency reflects the perception that one can initiate action along these pathways. Using trait and state hope scales, studies explored hope in college student athletes. In Study 1, male and female athletes were higher in trait hope than nonathletes; moreover, hope significantly predicted semester grade averages beyond cumulative grade point average and overall self-worth. In Study 2, with female cross-country athletes, trait hope predicted athletic outcomes; further, weekly state hope tended to predict athletic outcomes beyond dispositional hope, training, and self-esteem, confidence, and mood. In Study 3, with female track athletes, dispositional hope significantly predicted athletic outcomes beyond variance related to athletic abilities and affectivity; moreover, athletes had higher hope than nonathletes.A typical dictionary definition of hope as "a desire and the confident expectation of its fulfillment" captures one of the fundamental reasons that humans enjoy sporting activities (Osterhoudt, 1978). From the First Olympiad in 776 B.C. to neighborhood basketball games to next year's Super Bowl, the athletes' hopes for desired sport goals are pivotal to understanding these activities. Nevertheless, the role of hope has remained unexplored among personality researchers interested in individual differences in motivation, as well as by sport psychologists, largely because a theoretical model of hope and the associated measurement instruments have not been available. Accordingly, on the basis of the recent development of a theory of hope and measurement indices related to this construct, the present series of studies was performed to provide initial information about the role of hope in the academic and sport achievements of college students.Previously, scholarly writings have defined hope as a unidimensional construct involving an overall perception that goals can be met (French, 1952;Lewin, 1935;Stotland, 1969). Expanding on this unidimensional model, Snyder and his col-

“…Ce terme implique un « ensemble coordonné de procédures directes ou indirectes, susceptibles d'améliorer le potentiel psychique de l'athlète » (Lévêque, 1993). Cet ensemble de procédures se traduit par de nombreuses pratiques développées dans le cadre de théories et méthodologies multiples comme les approches clinique, comportementale et cognitive, destinées à créer les conditions d'un investissement sportif efficace (Greenspan et Feltz, 1989 ;Vealey, 1994).…”

a Faculté des sciences du sport de Bourgogne b Association nationale des psychologues du sport (Anaps) RésuméCe compte rendu de pratique souhaite souligner l'importance du suivi psychologique avec des adolescents sportifs. Le cas d'Emma illustre les transitions inhérentes de cette période d'age dans le contexte spécifique du sport de haut niveau. Pour Emma, le passage de haie devient la métaphore de son conflit psychique. La contre performance qui se manifeste dans le passage de haie signale son ambivalence face à son histoire personnelle au sein des réalités des cultures sportives. Cette mise en sens de la problématique sportive dans le cadre du suivi psychologique a pu l'aider à dépasser ses difficultés de passage et favoriser son engagement comme sujet de son propre désir sur la voie de sa réalisation dans l'acte sportif. AbstractThe major dimension of this article is to point out the importance of psychological follow-up with sporting teenagers. Emma's example illustrates the inherent transitions from this period of age in the specific context of the high level sport. For Emma, the passage of hurdle becomes the metaphor of its psychical conflict. The counter performance which appears in the passage of hurdle announces its ambivalence with regard to its personal history within realities of sport cultures. This making sense of the sporting problems within the framework of the psychological follow-up can help to exceed this difficulty of passage and to support its engagement like subject of its own desire on the way of its realization in the sporting act
