Abstract Details

2010, Master of Science in Sport Studies, Miami University, Physical Education, Health, and Sport Studies.
The purpose of this study was to determine collegiate athletes’ and collegiate ATCs’ perceptions of the role of ATCs in mental preparation. It has a mixed methods design; the qualitative design utilized focus group interviews consisting of 25 college athletes in groups of 4-8, and the quantitative design utilized an online cross-sectional descriptive survey consisting of college ATCs in NATA District 4 (N=911, n=260, 29% response rate). Athletes with positive relationships with their athletic trainers feel their athletic trainers have a role in mental skill development and mental preparation. Athletic trainers utilized counseling and foundation skills with athletes. Athletic trainers would benefit from more education and training in these areas to better serve athletes.
