"You can be my coach, but I am the one in charge". An interpretative phenomenological analysis of the importance of the coach-athlete relationship in Norwegian super-elite athletes
("Du kannst mein Trainer sein, aber ich bin verantwortlich". Eine phänomenologische Interprätationsanalyse der Trainer-Sportler-Beziehung bei norwegischen Supersportlern)
The purpose of this study was to explore the meaning of the coach-athlete relationship for two Norwegian male super-elite athletes. By means of semi-structured interviews and the use of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) the results revealed four emergent themes that represent underlying dynamics that influenced the athletes` perception of what constitute an effective coach-athlete relationship; 1) Extreme independence. 2) Coaching without skills? 3) The coach as a butler, and 4) Expectations - make it or break it. These underlying dynamics are further discussed using the theoretical frameworks of coping strategies and power with the need for control as an important common denominator.
