Abstract:
The process of athlete selection and deselection in sport involves not only athletes but also coaches, managers, performance directors, talent pathway coordinators and the wider organisation. Athlete selection and deselection can be viewed as the opposite sides of the same coin in that the process may be the same for all athletes but the outcome is very different. The outcome of this process can evoke extremely powerful emotions ranging from elevation to devastation. While selection and deselection are part of competitive sport regardless of type, level, gender or age, research is scarce. Employing the Delphi method, a total of 20 participants comprised the expert panel (coaches, athletes and other key personnel in high performance) from various sports, and ages ranged from 21 to 59 years old. Following three rounds, 60 items reached the pre-determined consensus level of 75%. The 60 items were then further content analysed and grouped with respect to the three key stakeholders: athlete (14), coach (21) and organisation (25). Within each of these categories, subcategories emerged: personal, interpersonal, procedural, educational, supportive, communicative and reviewing behaviours and actions that athletes, coaches and organisations can take to ease the navigation, apply consistency and establish a common ground during this challenging situation.
摘要:
运动员在体育运动中的选拔和取消选拔过程不仅涉及运动员,也涉及教练员,经理,绩效总监,人才途径协调员和更广泛的组织。运动员的选择和取消选择可以被视为同一枚硬币的反面,因为所有运动员的过程可能都是相同的,但结果却大不相同。这个过程的结果可以唤起从海拔到破坏的极其强大的情绪。虽然选择和取消选择是竞技运动的一部分,无论类型如何,level,性别或年龄,研究是稀缺的。采用Delphi方法,专家小组共有20名参与者(教练,运动员和其他高性能的关键人员)来自各种运动,年龄从21岁到59岁不等。经过三轮,60个项目达到了75%的预定共识水平。然后,对这60个项目进行了进一步的内容分析,并就三个关键利益相关者进行了分组:运动员(14),教练(21)和组织(25)。在每个类别中,子类别出现了:个人,人际关系,程序,教育,支持,交流和审查运动员的行为和行动,教练和组织可以采取简化导航,在这种具有挑战性的情况下,应用一致性并建立共同点。
