ABSTRACT

Effective coaching facilitates athletes’ success in reaching their potential in sport. Coaches possess a range of knowledge, skills and attributes that influence athletes’ performance, including various intrapersonal and interpersonal qualities. The purpose of this study is to systematically review the research investigating the psychosocial functioning of Olympic coaches and its perceived effect on athlete performance. The review was conducted and reported in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. The following databases were searched: SPORTDiscus, PsycINFO, PsycARTICLES, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Knowledge, and Medline. The literature search identified 2873 studies which were screened and assessed for eligibility, with the resultant 25 eligible studies being assessed for quality of evidence using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Convergent meta-integration with thematic analysis was performed by converting quantitative and qualitative data from 207 Olympic coaches and 925 Olympic athletes into relevant themes and patterns. Three core themes of traits, states, and behaviors were identified. Within these themes, 18 traits, 28 states, and 38 behaviors were identified that were perceived to have either a facilitative, debilitative, or non-categorized effect on athlete performance. Future research will help national governing bodies and practitioners develop coach education to enhance Olympic coaching effectiveness.

摘要

有效的指导有助于运动员成功发挥他们在运动中的潜力。教练拥有一系列影响运动员表现的知识、技能和属性，包括各种内省和人际关系素质。本研究的目的是系统地回顾调查奥运教练的心理社会功能及其对运动员表现的感知影响的研究。审查是根据 PRISMA 指南进行和报告的。搜索了以下数据库：SPORTDiscus、PsycINFO、PsycARTICLES、ScienceDirect、Scopus、Web of Knowledge 和 Medline。文献检索确定了 2873 项经过筛选和资格评估的研究，最终 25 项符合条件的研究使用混合方法评估工具进行了证据质量评估。通过将来自 207 名奥运教练和 925 名奥运运动员的定量和定性数据转换为相关主题和模式，进行了主题分析的收敛元整合。确定了特征、状态和行为的三个核心主题。在这些主题中，确定了 18 种特征、28 种状态和 38 种行为，它们被认为对运动员表现有促进性、削弱性或非分类影响。未来的研究将帮助国家管理机构和从业者开展教练教育，以提高奥运教练的有效性。在这些主题中，确定了 18 种特征、28 种状态和 38 种行为，它们被认为对运动员表现有促进性、削弱性或非分类影响。未来的研究将帮助国家管理机构和从业者开展教练教育，以提高奥运教练的有效性。在这些主题中，确定了 18 种特征、28 种状态和 38 种行为，它们被认为对运动员表现有促进性、削弱性或非分类影响。未来的研究将帮助国家管理机构和从业者开展教练教育，以提高奥运教练的有效性。
