Navigating pressure and connection: goal orientation, coach-athlete relationships, and burnout among Chinese collegiate athletes—a mixed-methods study by Le Wang, Hongye Lian

“…CAR commitment did not emerge as a unique predictive factor. Qualitative themes elaborated on these findings, highlighting how performance pressures were associated with goal orientation (e.g., ego orientation linked to cynicism via perceived system barriers) and the importance of specific functional CAR aspects (e.g., complementarity fostering competence, closeness associated with buffering life stress). …”
