摘要

本研究以深入訪談的方式，訪談我國的男子職業網球選手，收集我國男子職業網球選手在成功關鍵的歷程中所遭遇之困難和成功之關鍵點的質性資料，經訪談的結果分析為：投入網球運動及訓練背景：受訪者都是在家人的引導下開始接觸網球，四位的訪談者都是因為父親本身就熱愛此項運動而教導孩子網球。而訓練的過程中父母親也都佔著非常重要的角色，大部分家長皆犧牲了一切來為子女們打理一切相關的事物，而開始打球的平均年齡也都在5-8歲之中，越早學習球齡越高對網球競賽成績也是有幫助的。二、成功過程中所遇到之困難及障礙：國內男子選手普遍有著贊助金缺乏的問題，選手們皆有訓練及比賽經驗不足的問題，也因為資金的問題無法隨行教練的指導。所以選手除了比賽練球以外必須自行處理所有繁雜事物。職業網球選手在心理條件方面都因為長年經驗的累積以及歲數的增加而有所改變，打法方面也因為比賽經驗多了而增加多元化，而身體素質方面也有所提升。三、家庭對網球的重要性：四位訪談選手皆由父母親啟蒙接觸網球運動，兩位受試者父親本身為網球教練，兩位的兄弟姐妹當中也都接觸網球運動。家庭的支持是成為一位職業網球選手必備的條件，尤其在國內資源如此缺乏的狀況下，家庭確實為職業網球選手背後最大的支柱。不過也因為如此，國內家長過度干涉導致於親子關係破裂也時有所聞，家長如何在背後支持而不去干預網球專業部分的領域，是我國網球界之選手家長需要再教育的，他們必須了解職業網球運動的專業性，還需要有完整的計畫與實施。四、訓練時間與其特性的不同：職業網球選手在訓練時間方面為每天5-6小時左右，可見長時間地練習是身為一個職業網球選手每天必備的工作。大部分球員待在國內的時間並不長，都往國外網球訓練營來求得更好的訓練環境。國內職業網球選手皆在青少年時有著優秀的成績，而轉戰職業除了選手本身的能力外，贊助資金、訓練環境、比賽經驗皆為重要具備因素。
