邁向頂尖：一位桌球選手之自我敘說

本研究以桌球之路經驗為研究主題，並以質性研究方法中的自我敘說，敘說是一種瞭解生命經驗的方式，本文以敘說方式書寫一位來自離島澎湖出生的小女孩為邁向桌球國手之路所經歷傷痛與喜悅的故事，從小學一年級開始學習桌球，為了圓桌球夢從小離鄉背井從澎湖到台灣奮鬥，期間多次在比賽前夕受傷而無法參賽所造成的挫折，一度想放棄夢想，最終在自己的堅持下繼續朝桌球國手的夢想前進，在大學一年級終於選上桌球國手，大學期間除了繼續努力訓練，更學習很多體育專業知識，繼續攻讀研究所，選上國手後有更多的機會到國外移地訓練及代表國家參加國際比賽，也因為選上國手，目前是合作金庫正式球員。最後透過省思結果歸納兩項結論：一、成為一位桌球國手對研究者而言不僅是頭銜，更是對研究者本身自我實現需求的達成。二、筆者的生涯規劃為繼續以現役選手身分努力，並計畫在退役後以教練身分繼續在桌球領域發展。

This study focuses on the experiences of a young girl from Penghu, a remote island, and uses qualitative research methods, specifically self-narration, as a way to understand her life journey in the context of table tennis. This paper tells the story of her struggles and joys on the path to becoming a national table tennis player. She began learning table tennis in the first grade and left her hometown in Penghu to pursue her dream in Taiwan. She faced numerous setbacks, including injuries before important competitions, which led her to contemplate giving up on her dream. However, she persevered and continued her journey towards becoming a national table tennis player. In her freshman year of college, she achieved her dream of becoming a national table tennis player. During her college years, she not only continued to train diligently but also acquired a wealth of sports-related knowledge. She pursued further education in postgraduate study and had the opportunity to train abroad and represent her country in international competitions as a national team member. Currently, she is a formal player sponsored by the Taiwan Cooperative Bank due to her national team status. In conclusion, two main points are drawn from this reflection: first, becoming a national table tennis player is not only a title but also a realization of the protagonist’s own self-fulfillment needs. Second, the author's career plan is to continue striving as an active player and, after retirement, to further develop her career in the field of table tennis as a coach.
