对青年和高级运动员的成功与失败干预：专业运动心理学从业者的见解

这项研究的重点是运动心理学专业从业人员对有竞争力的青年和高级精英运动员的干预措施的反思。两个目标包括：（1）识别从业者用来描述运动心理干预的关键结构要素，并将其整合到经验框架中；（2）分析从业者在竞争性青年中成功和不太成功的干预方面的经验以及使用经验框架的精英老年人运动背景。我们对12名国际公认的运动心理学从业者（SPPs）进行了半结构化访谈，并对这些数据进行了专题分析。从SPP帐户得出的经验框架包含八个结构成分，这些成分分为两类：（1）内容和重点（包括三个成分，例如，内容的修改），以及（2）干预措施的组织和实施（包括五个部分，例如，运动员需求的发起和评估）。...
