Abstract

Despite an increasing interest in studying creativity in sport, previous research has primarily focused on in-game creative performance and employed research designs neglecting sport participants’ perspectives. Hence, this study explored professional athletes’ developmental experiences involving creativity. Semistructured retrospective interviews were conducted with eight ice hockey players performing in or retired from the National Hockey League, Kontinental Hockey League, or Swedish Hockey League. Players described 15 modalities of creative actions emerging when playing, practicing, and performing. Based on the players’ experiences, creativity led to augmented levels of enjoyment (i.e., elicited passion), development (i.e., enhanced potential), achievement (i.e., enriched in-game qualification), and fulfillment (i.e., extended career progression). Findings contribute to a more nuanced understanding of creativity in sport and provide novel insights on the role of creativity in the development and maintenance of expertise in sport and the nature and role of deliberate play and deliberate practice in developing creativity.

从想象实验到创造性表演:论创造力在职业冰球运动员发展经验中的作用

尽管人们对研究体育中的创造力越来越感兴趣，但之前的研究主要集中在游戏中的创造性表现上，并采用了忽视体育参与者观点的研究设计。因此，本研究探讨了职业运动员在创造力方面的发展经验。对8名在国家冰球联盟、大陆冰球联盟和瑞典冰球联盟比赛或退役的冰球运动员进行了半结构化的回顾性访谈。玩家描述了在演奏、练习和表演时出现的15种创造性行为模式。根据玩家的经验，创造力可以带来更多的乐趣(如激发激情)、发展(如增强潜能)、成就(如丰富游戏资格)和满足感(如延长职业发展)。研究结果有助于对体育创造力的更细致的理解，并提供了关于创造力在体育专业知识的发展和维持中的作用，以及刻意玩耍和刻意练习在培养创造力中的本质和作用的新见解。
