|a There has been a lack of research that has examined the experience of the death of a teammate. The present study involved conducting phenomenological interviews with 3 male and 6 female collegiate student-athletes who have lost a teammate to an unexpected death in order to understand the meaning of this particular experience. This study focuses on meanings and themes specified from the student- athletes in order to gain a deeper understanding of this experience. All participants were initially asked an open-ended question in order to acquire responses. The researcher expected that the findings from this study would allow future research in this field as well as provide athletes, families, coaches, athletic and academic faculty, and additional administrators with information that will help in preparing for such situations. A total of 9 in-depth phenomenological interviews with current and former collegiate student-athletes representing a variety of sports (i.e., swimming, volleyball, basketball, soccer and marching band) were conducted. Participants ranged in age from 19- 31 years old (M = 24.11, SD =11). All interviews were transcribed verbatim, and then were later analyzed. A total of 126 meaning units were revealed which were grouped into sub-themes and 6 major themes; Emotional Response, Behavioral Response, Faith, Social Support, Team Cohesion, and Change of Life Perspective. It is predicted that the findings will support and expand current literature on this topic. In addition, the findings can also be applied to athletes, coaches, faculty, families, and additional parties to assist in understanding what it is like to go through this experience in preparation of understanding how to handle this experience if it occurs within their team or facility. |
