Abstract Details

2015, Master of Science, Miami University, Sport Studies.
The purpose of this study was to explore interscholastic coaches’ and athletes’ perceptions of attendance-expectancy for scheduled off-season activities for athletes competing on male and female basketball teams, as well as how those expectations were related to their views of specialization in high school sports and athlete perception of burnout. Additionally, this study examined the level of congruency between coach and athlete perceptions regarding attendance expectations for team off-season activities, and compared these perceptions and their corresponding implications to recommendations for optimized talent development by Cote’s Developmental Model of Sport Participation (Cote, Lidor, & Hackfort, 2009). Participants were separated into coach and athlete groups and completed a detailed measure of their perceptions of activity attendance during the eight-month off-season. Results indicated that coaches were likely to report off-season activities as more voluntary than the athlete participants, illuminating the incongruent nature of off-season activity perceptions between these two groups
