Abstract

ABSTRACT In a qualitative study, we examined experiences from six Olympic coaches from medal winning sports in Norway. We sampled these coaches purposefully based on their athlete and sport development, results, and longevity as national team coaches. The semistructured interviews focused on these coaches’ experiences and strategies, identifying a series of motives and maneuvers as key constituents of longevity in national team coaching, using self-determination theory and the concept of passion to examine the data. These motives relate to connectedness and passion for the sport, coaching, and continuous growth. The maneuvers highlighted are securing of support from important others and from their organizations, maintaining a balance between short- and long-term development, and caring for the person’s own physical and mental health. We position our findings in the context of the literature and draw implications for coaches aspiring to a long career in sport coaching.

精英教练的长寿:保持他们在比赛中的动机和策略
摘要在一项定性研究中,我们考察了六位挪威奥运会奖牌得主教练的经验。我们根据这些教练作为国家队教练的运动员和运动发展、成绩和寿命,有目的地对他们进行了抽样。半结构化访谈集中在这些教练的经验和策略上,确定了一系列动机和策略是国家队教练寿命的关键组成部分,并使用自决理论和激情概念来检验数据。这些动机与对运动、教练和持续成长的联系和热情有关。强调的策略是获得重要他人及其组织的支持,在短期和长期发展之间保持平衡,并照顾个人的身心健康。我们将我们的发现放在文献的背景下,并对渴望长期从事体育教练生涯的教练产生启示。
