“…First, the current sample was delimited to collegiate swimming/diving and track/field athletes. The collegiate sport environment is well suited for the study of burnout and well-being (Gould & Whitley, 2009). Nonetheless, the examination of athletes across a range of career stages and competitive levels would offer needed developmentally informed understanding of athlete burnout.…”

Social support and negative social interactions have implications for athlete psychological health, with potential to influence the links of stress-related experiences with burnout and well-being over time. Using a longitudinal design, perceived social support and negative social interactions were examined as potential moderators of the temporal stress-burnout and burnout-well-being relationships. American collegiate athletes (N = 465) completed reliable and valid online assessments of study variables at four time points during the competitive season. After controlling for dispositional and conceptually important variables, social support and negative social interactions did not moderate the stress-burnout or burnout-well-being relationships, respectively, but did simultaneously contribute to burnout and well-being across the competitive season. The results showcase the importance of sport-related social perceptions to athlete psychological outcomes over time and inform development of socially driven interventions to improve the psychological health of competitive athletes.

“…College teams were chosen because understanding of burnout in this performance environment has been described as important for promotion of athlete health and safety (Gould & Whitley, 2009). Descriptive information is based on participants (N = 429) who completed demographic questions administered at Wave 1.…”

“…Further research by Kentta and colleagues (Kentta & Hassmaen, 1998;Kentta, Hassmen & Raglin, 2001) has shown that physical training is a component in the burnout process. However, burnout is not just a matter of physical overtraining (Gould & Whitley, 2009). The burnout process contains psychological and social components and to only assume training as a causal factor would leave an incomplete picture.…”

The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether adolescent athletes' levels of sport burnout would be correlated with, or predicted by, their level and type of passion and the degree to which they identify with the athlete role. Measures for burnout, passion and athletic identity were completed by 218 high school female athletes attending summer camps. Two significant canonical functions explained the relationship of the variables. In the first canonical function, high levels of harmonious passion combined with high levels of social identity were predictive of lower levels of burnout on all three dimensions of burnout. In the second canonical function, high scores on obsessive passion combined with high scores on all three subscales of the AIMS were predictive of higher scores on the exhaustion dimension of burnout but lower levels of sport devaluation. Future directions and limitations of the study are also discussed.

“…In preparing a player, self-regulation becomes centrally important because the drive to succeed and an inability to cope with the demand can cause stress and reduce well-being (Gould & Whitley, 2009). In addition, reduced self-regulation can eventually result in burnout (Goodger & Jones, 2012).…”

Competition outcome often shows a player's ability to self-regulate and be in control. This study examined the response patterns of Clay Button Method (CBM), an adapted art approach, in a sport context, among Paralympics, footballers and injured athletes for self-regulation. The article enlists the steps involved in CBM and the percentage of change is noted across six sessions among the participants. CBM focuses on teaching self-regulation by identifying individual areas of strengths and areas of concern, to build personal resources and weed out possible deficits. The participants engaged in CBM using playing clay, making their own self-image and exploring any unresolved emotional issues and bringing in desired changes. The response patterns revealed a trend where the players were able to self-regulate by reducing unproductive thoughts and strengthening personal resources. The study provides preliminary findings for introducing innovative approach in a sport context.
