We draw on the concept of self-efficacy (Bandura, 1990, 1997) and suggest that revisions to Bandura’s original model to improve its explanatory power, particularly in a sporting context. We believe that the addition of two interpersonal components (see Lent & Lopez, 2002) can guide the communication skills of coaches and members of their support team, such as physiotherapists. A fictitious case illustration is used as a vehicle to show how the above concepts can be used in a clinical situation where a young athlete was displaying performance anxiety which, in part, resulted from the poor communication skills of the athlete’s support team (coach and physiotherapist). We make recommendations about how the communication can be improved.","PeriodicalId":125848,"journal":{"name":"Sport & Exercise Psychology Review","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116239126","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}

One hundred and twenty participants (61 male, 59 female, M(age) = 29) who had been absent from sport for at least four weeks due to injury within the last two years completed measures of subjective distress, stress-related growth, return to sport efficacy and psychological wellbeing. Preacher and Hayes’s (2008) mediation analysis indicated sport injury-related growth did not mediate the relationship between the subjective distress caused by injury and self-efficacy upon return to sport. Sport injury-related growth did mediate the relationship between the subjective distress and psychological wellbeing. These findings indicate that sport injury-related growth can aid an individual to achieve increased psychological wellbeing in the return to sport following injury. Future research should seek to explore in-depth the potential mechanisms underpinning the impact of SIRG upon an individual’s cognitive-affective state, and consider the measurement of the construct in relation to assessing growth explicitly related to trauma from sport injury.","PeriodicalId":125848,"journal":{"name":"Sport & Exercise Psychology Review","volume":"48 20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124783932","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}

First, focus groups (n = 14) were conducted with key stakeholders (n = 56) to explore their perceptions of life skills and how they might be developed within grassroots football. The findings revealed six life skill themes, with social skills emerging as the most pertinent for the context. Further, the role of the coach in formally facilitating life skill development was expressed, suggesting that they are not developed implicitly through sport participation alone. Second, using the findings from study 1, a coach education programme was designed and subsequently delivered to a total of 45 coaches. Preliminary evaluation, using a triangulation of sources, revealed that the programme was successful in developing participants’ knowledge and understanding of life skills as well as improving their competence and confidence to integrate life skill development into their coaching practice. Support is therefore offered for the development of context specific life skill development programmes that are based on key stakeholder needs and expectations.","PeriodicalId":125848,"journal":{"name":"Sport & Exercise Psychology Review","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115478648","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}

Parker","doi":"10.53841/bpssepr.2018.14.1.33","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.53841/bpssepr.2018.14.1.33","url":null,"abstract":"In the sport domain, game-strategy efficacy is the belief that coaches can lead teams or athletes to a successful performance in competition. Developmentally-focused youth sport coaches, however, may define success differently to those working in other contexts. Researchers suggest that if youth sport coaches define successful performances in terms of winning only, the psychosocial development of young athletes could be hindered. Therefore, scholars and practitioners need to understand how developmentally-focused youth sport coaches cultivate their game-strategy efficacy beliefs to improve coach education and personal development programs. The purpose of this study was to explore UK developmentally-focused youth sport coaches’ game-strategy efficacy beliefs and to examine the sources and outcomes of perceived efficacy. A secondary focus was the generation of practically relevant and useable findings that developmentally-focused youth sport coaches could utilise. Data was obtained by interviewing 10 male youth sport coaches and analysed using an interpretive description methodology. Results are presented as a representative bricolage from the perspective of two fictional coaches who either have high or low game-strategy efficacy. These results highlighted sources of game-strategy efficacy within the UK developmentally-focused youth sport context, including acknowledgement, playing experience, relationships with athletes and peers, results, self-image, and success. Additionally, two outcomes of game-strategy efficacy included releasing control and self-evaluation. The findings offer coaches a chance to explore their own game-strategy efficacy beliefs against others in similar positions while opening a dialogue between research findings and those in the field.","PeriodicalId":125848,"journal":{"name":"Sport & Exercise Psychology Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127151767","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}
