“…Multimodal interventions have enhanced athletes' attentional focus (Kerr & Leith, 1993), self-confidence (Prapavessis, Grove, McNair, & Cable, 1992;Savoy, 1997), motivation (Beauchamp, Halliwell, Fournier, & Koestner, 1996;Holm, Beckwith, Ehde, & Tinius, 1996), energy management (Crocker, Alderman, & Smith, 1988;Hanton & Jones, 1999;Holm et al, 1996;Kerr & Goss, 1996;Kerr & Leith, 1993;Kirschenbaum, Owens, & O'Connor, 1998;Mamassis & Doganis, 2004;Prapavessis et al, 1992;Savoy, 1993Savoy, , 1997Thomas & Fogarty, 1997), anger management (Brunelle, Janelle, & Tennant, 1999), productive thinking (Crocker et al, 1988;Kirschenbaum et al, 1998), and performance (Bakker & Kayser, 1994;Beauchamp et al, 1996;Daw & Burton, 1994;Groslambert, Candau, Grappe, Dugue, & Rouillon, 2003;Hanton & Jones, 1999;Kendall, Hrycaiko, Martin, & Kendall, 1990;Kerr & Leith, 1993;Kirschenbaum et al, 1998;G. Multimodal interventions combine several mental training techniques into an integrated strategy that targets specific psychobehavioral outcomes of interest, such as performance improvement or mental skill enhancement.…”

“…Nevertheless, greater confidence in case studies can be developed by planning them rigorously, assessing multiple dependent measures repeatedly, and triangulating evidence, replicating the results across cases, and collecting data in a systematic and logical manner (Smith, 1988). Further, confidence in the internal validity of the case study can be increased by monitoring potentially confounding factors that may provide plausible alternative explanations for the intervention effects (e.g., Prapavessis, Grove, McNair, & Cable, 1992).…”

Applied sport psychology has entered an “age of accountability” (Smith, 1989) and the need to develop appropriate methods to evaluate practice has been well documented (Grove, Norton, Van Raalte, & Brewer, 1999; Strean, 1998). In this paper, we have developed a framework within which practitioners can assess the effectiveness of their practice and collect evaluative information that will increase their accountability to the stakeholders. We argue that a practitioner administered case study approach to evaluation, using a number of effectiveness indicators in triangulation, is appropriate to accommodate the constraints of a practice setting and fulfill the functional criteria for evaluating practice. Further discussion on when to evaluate practice and criteria for determining effectiveness is undertaken.

“…With regards to the sport classification of studies, the results showed that 26 studies (40%) were classified as team sports, 32 (50%) were classified as individual sports, and only 3 studies (5%) combined both sport types. Fifty-three interventions (83%) included sports that require gross motor skills movements, with only one study sampling a fine motor skilled sport in isolation (viz., Prapavessis, Grove, McNair, & Cable, 1992). Turning to the competitive standard of participants, 20 studies (31%) recruited collegiate performers, while elite (n = 4, 6%) and semi-professional populations (n = 3%) were largely neglected.…”

The purpose of this review was to systematically identify and evaluate the psychosocial interventions used to manage a component of the stress process in competitive sport performers. Inclusion criteria were devised to select research relevant to the topic area.Studies were assessed for inclusion by examining their title, abstract, and then full text.Based on the outcome of this process, 64 studies were included in the review. These studies encompassed a variety of cognitive (n = 11), multimodal (n = 44), and alternative interventions (n = 9). The results indicate that, in general, a variety of stress management interventions are associated with athletes' optimized stress experience and enhanced performance. The findings suggest that the effectiveness of stress management is moderated by a number of diverse design features (e.g., treatment adopted, stress component outcome measured). These design features are important to consider when designing interventions for athletes of varying sports, ages, and competitive standards. The competitive sport arena is a highly demanding and potentially stressful environment. Based on a transactional conceptualization, stress is defined as "an ongoing process that involves individuals transacting with their environments, making appraisals of the situations they find themselves in, and endeavouring to cope with any issues that may arise" (Fletcher, Hanton, & Mellalieu, 2006, p. 329; adapted from Lazarus, 1999). In line with this perspective of stress, it is widely acknowledged that sport performers must manage a wide range of environmental demands and psychological responses if they are to enhance their athletic performance and sport experience. Although some performers are able to manage the various causes and consequences of the stress process, many others struggle, resulting in severe impairments to their performance and health (e.g., burnout, depression, illness). It is for this reason that stress management interventions are important for facilitating athlete's experiences and performances in a range of sport-related settings.Within the sport psychology literature, it is acknowledged that intervention research should be of paramount importance to better understand the most appropriate approach to manage sport performers' stress (Anshel, 2005; Jones & Hardy, 1990;Thomas, Mellalieu, & Hanton, 2008). Aligned with this view, researchers have implemented a number of stress management interventions to optimize different aspects of the transactional stress process in typically one of the following ways: a) a reduction in stressors, b) a modification of cognitive appraisals, c) a reduction in negative affect and an increase in positive affect, or d) to facilitate effective coping behaviors. Hence, for the purposes of this paper, optimization of the stress process involves the interrelation and balance between the components of the stress process to benefit an individual's well-being and performance. However, there is still debate as to the effectiveness of different stress ...
