Performance vs. care
This study explores the broader discourses coaches in German elite handball mobilise when constructing meanings around athlete pain and injury and how these discursive practices shape health-related decision making. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten handball coaches and analysed using a discourse-oriented thematic approach. The analysis revealed two central discursive effects. First, coaches normalised pain by drawing on minimisa…

Admired Vulnerability or Shattered Heroism? Media Framing of Elite Athletes’ Mental Illnesses in German Print Media
This study examines the media’s framing of mental illness among elite athletes in German print media from 2013 to 2023. Traditionally, elite sport culture has glorified invulnerability, marginalized mental health challenges, and stigmatized perceived weakness. Through a reflexive thematic analysis of 200 articles from three major German newspapers, we constructed four dominant frames: mental illness (a) as a bug in the performance-oriented sport …
Anyone who weighs up risks doesn’t belong here”
Using reflexive thematic analysis, we generated four themes: (1) Externalizing risks and refraining from proactivity, (2) Relinquishing control under medical uncertainty, (3) Fluctuating prioritization of health or success, and (4) Calculated health-risk taking to achieve success. The findings illustrate that athletes' risk management strategies vary based on career stage, injury experiences, situational priorities, and social pressures. The insi…
Risk profiles for self-medication with analgesics among elite German handball players
This study presents empirical evidence on self-medication with analgesics among elite German handball players. The aim is to elucidate the intentions behind therapeutic and preventive analgesic use and identify high-risk profiles for this complex health-risk behavior based on psychosocial factors. Data were collected from 459 handball players (233 female, 226 male athletes) across the highest German divisions (1 st - 3 rd and German Youth Handbal…
Exploring print media coverage of elite athletes’ mental illness between 2010 and 2023 in Germany
As personal fate of prominent figures like elite athletes will always meet great interest in the public, it is of utmost importance that the media report responsibly and promote critical thinking in society. The study shows the media's willingness to question conventional ideals embedded in the sports culture and take a more critical approach to the topic of mental illness in high-performance sports. By demonstrating a greater understanding of th…
I just had the feeling that the interval training is more beneficial”
Objective Compelling evidence has shown that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is associated with substantial increases in physical fitness. However, little is known about whether and how individuals experience these adaptations over time. The purpose of this study is, therefore, to explore how physically inactive young adults subjectively experience physical fitness and its development as they start to exercise and how these experiences re…
Talent as a social construction
Talent identification, selection, and development represent critical areas of inquiry for sport scientists as indicated in the large amount of research attention dedicated to these topics. However, talent researchers rarely explicitly discuss their underlying conceptual understanding of “talent”. Within this article, we approach the construct “talent” from the perspective of social constructivism. We consider talent as a social construction that …
All roads lead to Rome? Talent narratives of elite athletes, musicians, and mathematicians
Public accounts about world-class athletes, musicians, and mathematicians often include notions of the highly talented child that then develops into a successful performer in a more or less straightforward manner. However, a large corpus of scientific literature indicates that talent development trajectories are highly diverse and idiosyncratic. Analysing the experiences of the high-achieving individuals themselves might add an additional perspec…

Sport represents a prominent topic for public and scientific debates on national identity. Looking at Germany, public discourses on national belonging have primarily focused on national elite football and on German-born international football players with Turkish background. Representing the biggest ethnic community in Germany and being highly represented in German youth elite football, athletes with Turkish background are prime examples for the …
