Poetry in Coaching: Self-Narrative Toward the Interaction Between a Gymnastics Coach and an Athlete

本研究從運動員第一人稱視野，敘說研究者過去身為體操選手與中國陽陽教練之間的互動，引發了研究者對體操、對生活的詩意想像。本研究目的為探討中國陽陽教練與選手互動故事的意義，並敘說體操訓練的詩意想像經驗。研究方法採自我敘說，並以幕升、幕降的結構來呈現敘說情境，以便更好的拉出了獨立的空間進行自我敘說，使我們跳脫情節的束縛重新審視故事，跳脫當局者迷的困境，看清事情的全貌。研究結論發現，陽陽教練具有魅力型領導特質，教練以真誠、用心待選手，使研究者對其由排斥轉為接納，在教練身上學到的不僅止於運動層面，更多的是陽陽教練傳遞的生活態度。此外，研究者由「充滿靈魂的成套編排」、「訓練中的超越精神」、「集合時的詩意想像」、「流露於細節中的溫柔和浪漫」，四大面向感受到陽陽教練充滿詩意的想像世界。最後總結成功外籍教練包含「教練專業的堅持」與「真誠的感情」兩項特質，兩者兼具方能與選手建立良好的關係，彼此互信，成就彼此。

This paper presents the perspective of its author, a gymnast, on past interactions with Chinese coach Sunny, which inspired poetic imaginations about gymnastics and life. The goal is to explore the significance of the interactions between the coach and the gymnast and to describe the poetic experience of gymnastics training. Through self-narration structured with a rise and fall narrative, the story is reevaluated in an unbound fashion, free from the confines of the plot and the biases of being an insider, thus revealing the complete picture. The findings indicate that Sunny possesses charismatic leadership qualities and treats gymnasts with sincerity and dedication, which shifted the author’s initial resistance to acceptance. The lessons learned from the coach extended beyond the realm of sports, encompassing the life attitudes imparted by Sunny. Additionally, the author experienced Sunny’s poetic world through 4 aspects:“soulful choreography,”“transcendence in training,”“poetic imagination during assembly,”and“gentleness and romance in the details.”The conclusion outlines that a successful foreign coach embodies professional dedication and genuine emotions. Both qualities are essential for establishing a trusting and mutually beneficial coach–athlete relationship.
