Prior research has examined visual and auditory perceptions by the athletic trainer, the coach, and even the student—athlete, however it has not explored the student— athlete’s perception of the athletic trainer coach relationship and whether that impacts social support received. The goal of this study was to explore how the athletic trainer/coach relationship may impact social support through the perception of Division I student—athletes. Interviews were conducted with 11 student—athletes, and data was analyzed using open, constant comparison, axial and selective coding. The results were consistent with previous research on athletic trainers and coaches being major contributors of social support for student—athletes. The findings indicated a relationship between positive athletic trainer/coach relationships and a positive student—athlete experience overall. In contrast, it also showed a relationship between negative athletic trainer/coach relationships and a negative student—athlete experience. The research also highlighted the significance of pressures faced by student—athletes to compete while injured and the prevalence of mental health issues. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
