Abstract

The purpose of this case study was to explore the effectiveness of an individualized, strengths-based coaching approach with an elite cricketer, when compared to two control participants. The coaching consisted of four meetings that occurred over a one month period at the start of the cricket season. Multisource ratings (i.e., self, coaches, teammates) of mental toughness were obtained at baseline, intervention, and postseason. Visual analysis of data revealed general improvements in raw scores of multisource ratings of mental toughness for the experimental participant, with relatively stable levels of mental toughness indicated for the two control participants. Reliable changes in attentional control and self-belief facets were evidenced according to our statistical criterion. This case study has provided initial evidence for the effectiveness of an individualized, strengths-based coaching approach to develop facets of mental toughness, and supports the need for further evaluative research on positive psychology interventions in sport contexts.

基于优势的板球运动员心理韧性训练案例研究

本案例研究的目的是探讨一种个性化的、基于优势的指导方法对一名精英板球运动员的有效性，并与两名对照参与者进行比较。训练包括在板球赛季开始的一个月内举行的四次会议。在基线、干预和季后赛获得心理韧性的多源评分(即自我、教练、队友)。数据的视觉分析显示，实验参与者的多源心理韧性评分的原始分数普遍提高，而两个对照参与者的心理韧性水平相对稳定。根据我们的统计标准，注意力控制和自信方面的可靠变化得到了证明。本案例研究为个性化的、基于优势的教练方法在培养心理韧性方面的有效性提供了初步证据，并支持了在体育环境下对积极心理学干预进行进一步评估研究的必要性。
