碩士 === 中國文化大學 === 運動教練研究所 === 94 === The primary objective of this qualitative study is to investigate the Success Process of Triathlon Athletes. The subjects are those who have joined the Triathlon competitions at least for five times in the past five years and achieved at least once of the top three positions in their age group competitions. The research focuses on participation motivations, training process, practice, the mental condition, personality and how to transfer the Triathlon spirit to their life development. The conclusions are as follows: 1. The participation motivation: All players join the competitions because of intrinsic motivations (interest, self-challenge, keep fit). They always persist in this activity because of the strong motivation. 2. The training process: Intensity, efficiency, enthusiasm, and consistent practice with their life routine, attention to nutrition, good mood and regular exercise are all very important factors during their training process. 3. Practice and the mental condition: Athletes are always optimistic toward the competition with relaxed mind and accept the result unperturbed. 4. Personalities: All athletes have hopeful natural instincts, do everything efficiently and never give up. 5. How to transfer the Triathlon spirit to life development: Their life, business and families’ development are just like the triathlon spirit --- They should have strong bodies and minds. The most important thing is that they should manage it with all their efforts and they will be successful.
