|a The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of the mindfulness meditation training program for sport 2.0 as an intervention to reduce levels of stress and burnout using a single case study approach in a burned out college athlete, and to gain a greater understanding of the experience of a mindfulness meditation program for a burned out athlete. The sample included one burned out athlete by determination of the athlete burnout questionnaire (ABQ). Comparisons of pre- and post- test scores were evaluated for the ABQ and the Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). The Recovery-Stress Questionnaire for Athletes (REST-Q) was completed at the start of each week during the intervention for tracking of the participant’s experience. In order to gain a greater understanding of the participants’ experience, a qualitative analysis of a post-intervention interview was also completed. Results indicated that the mindfulness meditation training program reduced symptoms of athlete burnout. The participant went from ABQ scores pre-intervention indicating burnout to scores not indicative of burnout on two of the three sub-scales. Results from the RESTQ were also in alignment with results of the ABQ with a reduced trend of Burnout Emotional/Physical Exhaustion on the sport specific stress subscale, and an increased trend of Burnout Personal Accomplishment on the sport specific recovery subscale. Further, pre-post comparisons of the MAAS indicated that the mindfulness meditation program helped the athlete become more mindful. Finally, results of meaning units extracted from the post-intervention interview revealed present moment, learning, response, and integration as general themes that characterized the experience of a mindfulness meditation program for a burned out athlete. The practical implications of this study suggest mindfulness meditation training programs can benefit college student-athletes by increasing their skill in being mindful as well as helping athletes to recover from feeling burned out. |
