Abstract

The aim of this study was to explore the perspectives of elite professional football coaches when their team has experienced a “losing streak” of at least three consecutive matches. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 12 elite coaches from the National Rugby League, Australian Football League, and Super Rugby or international-level Rugby Union. Reflexive thematic analysis resulted in the development of six themes, which were organized under a practical three-phase framework. The “pre” phase included (a) team environment; the “during” phase included (b) context of the streak influences strategy, (c) coach approach with the team, (d) disruption in the team dynamic, (e) the coaches’ personal response; and the “post” phase included (f) poststreak reflection. These coaches encountered complex multifactorial contextual situations, which required them to accurately assess the underlying issues that were causing failure and decide on a leadership approach that would reverse underperformance. Overall, these findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the temporal dimension of coaches’ approaches to losing streaks and highlight the critical process involved in establishing a team environment capable of responding with positive individual and collective cognitive and behavioral responses following successive losses.
输球时领先:精英教练对连败的看法
本研究的目的是探讨精英职业足球教练的观点,当他们的球队经历了“连败”至少连续三场比赛。对12名来自国家橄榄球联盟、澳大利亚橄榄球联盟、超级橄榄球或国际橄榄球联盟的精英教练进行了半结构化访谈。反思性专题分析产生了六个专题,这些专题是在实际的三阶段框架下组织的。“前期”阶段包括(a)团队环境;“期间”阶段包括(b)连胜的背景影响策略,(c)教练对团队的态度,(d)团队动态的中断,(e)教练的个人反应;“后”阶段包括(f)连胜后反射。这些教练遇到了复杂的多因素情境,这就要求他们准确地评估导致失败的潜在问题,并决定一种能够扭转表现不佳的领导方法。总的来说,这些发现有助于更深入地理解教练对连败方法的时间维度,并强调了建立一个团队环境的关键过程,该环境能够在连续输球后以积极的个人和集体认知和行为反应作出反应。
