Abstract

The purpose of this investigation was to explore strategies coaches and sport psychologists could implement to affect the type and level of social support provided student-athletes. A brainstorming activity with a group of coaches and sport psychologists was utilized to generate suggested methods. These strategies are summarized, consolidated and presented within the framework of a descriptive model of the social support network of student-athletes as suggested by Rosenfeld, Richman, and Hardy (1989).
