Evaluating the Feasibility of a Self-Compassion Intervention for Competitive Men Athletes.

We examined the feasibility of a one-week self-compassion intervention delivered exclusively online to competitive men athletes. Information regarding the content of the intervention, including specific modules and protocols, are included in this manuscript. Our findings are encouraging for the feasibility of the intervention, with data trends in hypothesized directions (e.g., self-compassion levels increased at post-intervention). The men athletes generally considered the self-compassion intervention helpful, particularly for easing emotional suffering from sport-specific difficult experiences and to move forward adaptively. Recommendations based on our evaluation of the intervention are also included for those hoping to deliver similar services in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
