Abstract

This study aims to highlight how an existential-humanistic perspective can inform athlete support and in doing so, emphasize the importance of explicating the philosophical underpinnings of athlete lifestyle support. Drawing on applied experience with elite youth cricketers over a 12-month period, ethnographic data were collected through the observation, maintenance of case notes, and a practitioner reflective diary. Based on thematic analysis, we created three nonfictional vignettes that we use to illustrate how existential-humanistic theorizing can inform lifestyle support. We discuss the implications of this professional philosophy in terms of considerations for performance and talent development programs, and how holistic support for athletes is positioned. We also discuss implications for athlete lifestyle and performance psychology practitioners, with regard to training, underpinning theoretical grounding of support and the strategic positioning of their practitioner roles.

运动员生活方式支持的哲学基础:一个存在主义-人文主义的视角

本研究旨在强调存在主义-人文主义视角如何为运动员提供支持，并在此过程中强调解释运动员生活方式支持的哲学基础的重要性。根据精英青年板球运动员在12个月期间的应用经验，通过观察、维护病例笔记和实践者反思日记收集人种学数据。基于主题分析，我们创造了三个非虚构的小插曲，我们用它们来说明存在主义-人文主义理论如何为生活方式提供支持。我们从表现和人才发展计划的角度讨论了这一专业理念的含义，以及如何为运动员提供全面的支持。我们还讨论了对运动员生活方式和表现心理学从业者的影响，关于训练，支持的基础理论基础和他们的从业者角色的战略定位。
