Abstract
AbstractObjectivesThe purpose of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of an imagery intervention on eudaimonic well-being (EWB) of soccer players using a single-subject multiple baseline design.MethodsFive female varsity level soccer players (Mage=19.80, SD=1.64) participated in the study. Each athlete engaged in eight individual imagery sessions (i.e., intervention phase) aimed at increasing EWB.ResultsVisual and statistical analyses demonstrated a small increase on EWB for two participants. However, post-intervention interviews revealed that all the players believed the intervention was beneficial and had a positive impact on their EWB.ConclusionsThe utility of employing imagery interventions for enhancing athletes’ EWB in various contexts within and outside sport was highlighted.
