Description

<p>A sports hiatus is an undesirable life event for an athlete. In sport psychology, injuries and slumps have been studied as unfavorable experiences in an athlete’s life. In this study, we highlight the results of previous studies on the suspension of athletic activities due to injury. We also examine the psychological challenges and countermeasures regarding undesirable life events, caused without one’s direct involvement (social situations and environmental changes). Results indicated that a sports hiatus is an unfortunate event for athletes and should be avoided, however, it may be necessary from a psychological and emotional perspective. Moreover, it enables athletes to have sufficient time for personal development.</p>
