골프선수의 주의 방해 요인과 대처 방안 탐색

초록

This study aimed to investigate the factors that disrupt the attention of golf players and explore the strategies they use to cope with these attention-related challenges. To achieve this objective, the research was conducted with 71 students majoring in golf at C University in Gyeonggi Province from 2021 to 2023. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaires, where participants were asked to identify at least three factors that hinder their attention and describe how they overcome such difficulties. To ensure high-quality responses, participants received training on attention and concentration prior to completing the questionnaire. Additionally, group discussions were held to share experiences of situations where their attention was disrupted and the methods they used to overcome these challenges. The collected data were transcribed using Hangul 2018, and inductive analysis was conducted by applying four classification criteria: technical, psychological, physical, and environmental factors. The frequency of responses was calculated using Excel 2016. The results indicated that the primary factors disrupting the attention of golf players were environmental (36.3%), followed by technical (32.6%), psychological (29.3%), and physical factors (1.8%). Among the environmental factors, the most frequently cited issue was the inappropriate behavior of fellow competitors. Technical factors mainly involved unintentional or persistent mistakes, while psychological factors included self-doubt and negative thoughts regarding their shots and confidence. Physical factors were related to failures in managing physical condition and decreased stamina. In terms of coping strategies, psychological methods were the most commonly used (41.5%), with positive self-talk and stopping negative thoughts being the most frequently mentioned techniques. Technical methods (23.8%) focused on resolving technical issues, environmental methods (17.3%) addressed problems with fellow players, and physical methods involved relaxation through deep breathing. Based on these findings, the study provides a discussion on the frequently cited factors that disrupt attention and the strategies used to overcome them.
