Abstract

The current study investigated collegiate coaches’ reflective inquiry processes, and the subsequent development of emotional and personal resources, to facilitate their performance in demanding environments. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with National Collegiate Athletic Association Division II head coaches (n = 13) to explore their reflective processes. A reflexive thematic analysis generated two main themes and five subthemes consisting of strengths-based inquiry (studying optimal functioning, building a reflective environment, and establishing personal resources) and deficits-based inquiry (learning from challenging issues and ruminating on problems). Findings revealed how coaches used reflective questions to better understand their personal strengths and successful experiences of their respective programmes. Furthermore, by fostering coaches’ sense of gratitude and engagement in social support, strengths-based reflection can build personal resources to enable thriving in demanding situations. However, coaches were inclined towards deficits-based reflections that focused on eradicating performance problems. Although reflecting on errors was important to guide future action and improve performance, fixating on shortcomings could be detrimental to coach well-being. Findings can enhance coaches’ understanding of reflection to manage performance demands by developing personal resources through reflective questions, prompts, and conversations.

大学教练管理绩效需求的反思性探究过程
本研究调查了大学教练的反思性探究过程,以及随后情感和个人资源的发展,以促进他们在苛刻环境中的表现。对全国大学体育协会二级总教练(n = 13)进行了半结构化访谈,以探讨他们的反思过程。反思性专题分析产生了两个主要主题和五个副主题,包括基于优势的调查(研究最佳功能,建立反思环境,建立个人资源)和基于缺陷的调查(从具有挑战性的问题中学习和反思问题)。调查结果揭示了教练如何使用反思性问题来更好地了解他们的个人优势和各自项目的成功经验。此外,通过培养教练的感恩意识和参与社会支持,基于优势的反思可以建立个人资源,使他们能够在苛刻的情况下茁壮成长。然而,教练们倾向于基于缺陷的反思,专注于根除表现问题。尽管反思错误对于指导未来的行动和提高表现很重要,但专注于缺点可能不利于教练的健康。研究结果可以增强教练对反思的理解,通过反思性问题、提示和对话来开发个人资源,从而管理绩效需求。
