The impact of entrapment: exploring the role of entrapment in coach burnout (Woodruff, 2022)
Coaching is widely regarded as a stressful position to hold, meaning within the field of coaching, practitioners are susceptible to burnout: a psychological syndrome leading to various unwanted issues such as anxiety, depression, insomnia, and fatigue. This study investigated the relationship between entrapment and burnout in sports coaches by exploring its correlation with the three dimensions of burnout: emotional exhaustion, reduced personal accomplishment and depersonalisation.
A Qualitative Investigation of Choking and Clutch Performance under Pressure in Team Sports (Boyce, 2021)
This study investigated the subjective experiences of performance under pressure in team sports. Support was found for both self-focus and distraction theories as the underlying psychological processes behind choking under pressure. The interviews revealed that a positive appraisal of anxiety as well as feelings of control were key for producing clutch performances. Evidence of both the positive and negative effects of emotional contagion during choking and clutch performances was uncovered. The future consequences of choking and clutch performance were found to positively affect confidence, motivation to train and ability to cope with pressurised situations. The study highlights the need to create approach-mastery training environments for team athletes to alleviate choking and enhance performance under pressure.
