Abstract

Family support, especially from the parents, was important as a coping and motivation in paving an athletic career for Indonesian elite athletes. In this qualitative study, 37 elite Indonesian athletes involved in a national training program and nine sport practitioners who worked with them were interviewed. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Results of the analysis articulate three crucial themes related to perspectives of Indonesian elite athletes about their family: 1) Family as resources of coping and resiliency in adversity; 2) Responsibility to share financial earn with their family to raise their family’s social and economic status; and 3) Psychosocial demands of the absence of family’s support due to divorce, poverty or belong to stigmatised population. Implications of findings, particularly in addressing elite athletes’ mental health and future research are also discussed.
