However, whilst it has been suggested that different sports have different visual requirements, there is no easy way to screen for these without having to rely on extensive testing of the visual abilities of elite athletes within the sport, which is often not a practical option. Consequently, in this paper, we designed and tested a screening questionnaire to elicit visual skills information from experts within the sport of field hockey in a quick and easily applicable manner. Descriptions of 23 visual skills were rated on a 5-point Likert scale by 481 participants to show how important they are perceived to be for field hockey players. All participants were involved in field hockey as players, coaches, or umpires. The same questionnaire was completed at a second time point by 129 of the original respondents to assess stability over time. Principal components analysis showed that the 23 visual skills loaded onto four visual skillsets. The perceived importance of these differed, with a perception that skills associated with visual interception and spatial positioning are more important than skills associated with maintaining focus on and recognising visual objects. Our findings suggest that the tool could be useful both to guide the focus of visual skills research in different sports and as a practical aid to coaches looking to systematically select the focus of visual skills training for their players.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100129,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology","volume":"5 1","pages":"Pages 10-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143936035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This popularity extends to the field of sport psychology. Due to this popularity, many college student-athletes have exposure to mindfulness with or without the guidance of a sport psychology consultant or mindfulness teacher. Most mindfulness research in sport psychology has centered on the effectiveness of formal mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) for performance enhancement and wellbeing. However, little to no evidence exists demonstrating how student-athletes understand mindfulness, and how this understanding might connect to motivation for continued practice or benefits received. Further, no research to our knowledge exists exploring the use of mindfulness practice by individual student-athletes outside of formal MBIs delivered in a group or team format. Moreover, some research proposes that the oversimplified incorporation of mindfulness in Western Psychology might be a factor in decreased participation and compliance with MBIs. The purposes of the present study were to investigate how athletes engage in and understand mindfulness practice and to explore potential benefits, barriers, and adverse experiences related to their practice. The Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR) protocol (Hill, 2012) was utilized to examine the experiences of 15 college student-athletes with varying degrees of mindfulness exposure and practice. The analysis yielded three distinct domains, including (a) conceptual understanding, (b) details of mindfulness practice, and (c) contextual factors influencing practice.

It was hypothesized that there would be an inverse correlation between grit and burnout. Grit and burnout data was collected from Division I student-athletes (<em>n</em> = 241) towards the end of their competitive seasons. Further, the student-athletes year in college was considered as a potential moderator between grit and burnout. The results indicated that student-athletes who scored higher in grit, also scored higher in burnout, hence the hypothesis was not supported. Additionally, there was a stronger positive relationship between grit and burnout for first-year students and sophomores, when compared with juniors and seniors. It is plausible athletes who are grittier are more likely to persevere through stress and challenges, including burnout symptoms, especially during their first two years of college. Athletes higher in grit may also be investing more effort into their sport, which could be increasing symptoms of burnout, as well. The results of this study warrant further investigation to clarify the interaction between grit and athlete burnout.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100129,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology","volume":"4 3","pages":"Pages 138-143"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142659436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The bridging of these two, often disparate competencies, science and practice, though considered at the conceptual level, continues to be scarcely evidenced within the international sport science community. Much of the research that frames the experiences of elite athletes and their consequent needs, is heavily influenced by scientists, often without direct reciprocity to bridge science, theory, and applied context. The knowledge influencing these interventions has derived from qualitative methods, such as semi-structured interviews, surveys, and focus groups, as well as a breadth of psychometric assessments. Though these approaches to gathering robust data are a necessary part of inquiry, they often produce decontextualized data collection strategies and results, which can lead to generalized, ineffective practices in sport performance environments. Within this submission, the first author cooperated with an international team of scientist-practitioners who are well versed in elite sport to delineate ecologically sound science-practice reciprocity. The authors consider the strengths and weaknesses of conventional qualitative research strategies in terms of their utility and the parlance of evidence into intervention and world-class performance. Two emerging, context driven approaches to inquiry are proposed; arts-based methods and an idiosyncratic approach to ethnography to encourage the reader toward an expanded selection of inquiry approaches from which better understanding and intervention can be generated.
