The purpose of this study is to identify specific actions that athletes practice in the field to break out of performance slumps and recover their performance quickly. To achieve this goal, we organized the training actions taken by college student-athletes to recover from performance slumps. Eighty-six undergraduate sports students participated in the study. Of the 86 participants, we excluded 11 who had never recovered from a performance slump, resulting in 75 study participants. The subjects used a survey form to visualize their past performance and wrote the factors that caused their performance changes and actions. In turn, we extracted the keywords that created their performance slump and recovery from their completed text. Three researchers examined the descriptive data and the keywords reflected by the participants, perused them, and validated and modified them to define performance slump and recovery concepts. The results of our study show that four factors create performance slumps in college student-athletes:” The four factors are “physical,” “environment,” “content of training,” “decline in motivation,” and “minority cases.” We identified several patterns of recovery from each factor. However, the common actions for most of the factors were related to “identifying the problem through proper analysis of the current situation,” “setting and implementing training methods to solve the problem,” and “goal setting.” Our research findings contribute to athletesʼ recovery and improved performance through psychological and synergistic approaches.
