失落的世界：國小運動教練離職的情感世界

運動教練在學校場域中所扮演的角色是多樣而繁重的，每一位運動教練所付出的甘苦，有許多為人不知的故事。在培育運動員的歷程中必也遭遇到許多不同的困境、壓力與衝突。本研究目的是書寫國小離職運動教練的故事，藉由離職教練的自我陳述，深究教練離開教練工作的情感世界。採取深入訪談蒐集資料，研究結果發現：離職運動教練當初秉持著一股熱忱與服務的心投入代表隊的訓練工作，即使遭遇不同的困境，憑藉著在工作中所得到的成就感與榮耀堅持下去，教練們將熱忱轉化為能量，從而為這份教練工作創造出最大的價值。但是來自於代表隊合作伙伴與學校行政的衝突漸漸消磨他們的熱情，逐漸的產生失望和無奈的情感，最後只能選擇離職。然而離開球隊對教練們而言，既傷感又不捨，他們的內心就像一個失落的世界，使人深陷其中而無法自拔。對這些長時期付出的教練們而言，離開球隊失去的不僅僅是一份工作，還有無數光榮燦爛的榮耀與記憶。景色依舊而人事卻已非，隨著時間的流轉，離職教練嘗試走出失落的世界，並試著展開屬於自己的生活節奏。

To a sports team, the coach is not only its commander but also the athletes' spiritual leader. However, not all school coaches graduated from sports-related studies, and many of these duties are taken on by school teachers or parents who love sports and treat it as their calling. Nonetheless, there are many stories behind every hard-working coach that are yet to be told. Coaches play diverse and important roles in a school setting, and they are bound to face conflicts and to re-adjust their duties when their different roles clash with one another. Those who chose to resign and work only as teachers or just being parents naturally face different problems, stress, and conflicts during their work, and each of them has a different path and psychological re-adjustment. This study is about four elementary school coaches who chose to leave their job; through their own words, we understand their passion and the goals they set for themselves at work. Despite the imperfect outcome, coaching is still their most beloved job. The purpose of this study is for us to understand elementary school coaches' work and feelings, determine the reasons behind their resignation, and understand how these individuals re-adjust themselves psychologically after their resignation. The subjects in this study are four former elementary school coaches. Through in-depth interviews, the findings are as follow: These four individuals took on the coaching job with their enthusiasm and the mission to serve, and the sense of achievement and honor they acquired at work were what kept them going. Transforming passion into energy, these individuals made the most out of their job, and their sense of joy came from the sense of achievement-their self-actualization. However, irreconcilable conflicts eventually put out the flame as these individuals were surrounded by a sense of disappointment and helplessness, leaving them no other options than quitting. Leaving the job, however, was both saddening and hard for them; it was like they had fallen into a lost world and were unable to escape. To them, the worst part is not leaving the job but a world of glory and beautiful memories. As time goes by, these individuals are still trying to leave the lost world and have let fate to decide their future.
