Abstract [en]

Gymnastics is a sport with a high risk of injury, which presents many opportunities for gymnasts to experience injury-related fear. Little is known about how gymnasts experience fear and how coaches perceive gymnasts’ fear. The present study was aimed at exploring the experiences of post-injury fear in a gymnast-coach dyad. Two male participants (a gymnast and his coach) were involved in semi-structured interviews about their experiences of the same incident of the gymnast’s fear. A holistic form-structural analysis revealed two narratives: a hero’s journey narrative (coach) and a lost and regain narrative (gymnast), which were co-constructed into one cohesive tale. Three themes (transitions, identity, and fear) could be found in the tale. These themes were discussed from both the gymnast’s and the coach’s perspectives. The findings illuminate how two collaborating people experienced the same incident of fear differently and how those different views complemented each other.
