| Burnout in Elite Athletes. |
Burnout is defined along a continuum of low to high, so
burnout is at one end of the continuum while
actualization is at the other. Different models of
burnout along with retroactive treatments are
discussed. Proactive treatments, created by increasing
protective factors and decreasing risk factors of burnout
are discussed, along with an argument for more weighted
use of proactive coaching methods for elite athletes. Vitols, A., (1995, revised 1996). Unpublished term paper. Academic. |
| Self Directed Coaching Manual. |
This educational document attempts to structure
research into a form that is meaningful for elite athletes.
It is in layman's language,
hopefully without too much loss in explicit content.
Specifically, this manual provides a decision-making model
for creating athletes' competitive programs. Scientific
data available in motor learning, performance
and other aspects of sport psychology is presented, along
with suggestions on where to find more information.
Overviews of the relevance of
each section, and many diagrams and tables are an attempt to
make it more user-friendly. Content and organization completed in 1996. Currently writing for publication. Vitols, A., Educational. |
