Abstract

This study examined the crises occurring in athletes' life history, athletes' coping with crises, and the degree of resolving crises. University athletes (100 males, 55 females) were asked their experience of crises in the athletic domain and the daily life domain. Subjects' descriptions about experience of crises were analyzed, and 22 crisis issues in the athletic domain and 17 crisis issues in the daily life domain were extracted. The crisis issues in the athletic domain that many athletes experienced were skill stagnation, relationships with teammates, injuries, relationships with coaches, leadership, losing the games, conflicts between team goals and one's own needs, team management, having other things to do, and continuation in athletics. The crisis issues in the daily life domain that many athletes experienced were choice of high school/college, relationships with friends, studying, love, future occupation/life course, and habit. The crisis issues that males and females experienced most frequently were skill stagnation and relationships with teammates, respectively. The frequency of crises in interpersonal issues and physical issue was higher for females than males. The degree of coping with crises and resolving crises was different according to the kinds of crises.
