| ABSTRACT | |||
| Recent research suggests that appropriately-tailored interventions
can assist adolescents enhance their coping skills (Frydenberg and Lewis,
2004).
The present paper reflects upon the delivery of a longitudinal coping intervention
utilized by junior national netball players. Reflection is focused on issues
such as the rationale for the intervention, operational issues surrounding
the delivery and management of the work. It is also focused on interpersonal
issues relating to intervention implementation. We contend that being explicit
about developmental and applied processes may enable theoretically sound
and efficacious practices to be identified. In addition, unpacking operational
issues related to delivery may assist applied sport and exercise psychologists
in the development of related work.
Key words: Longitudinal coping intervention, time management, goal setting, problem solving, communication, emotional intelligence, adolescence. |
