碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 運動與休閒管理研究所在職碩士班 === 102 === Most athletes went through a longtime of intense training starting from teenager years to adulthood, In order to pursue excellence and leave a good impression from their coaches, they tend to over-train themselves when they are under a great deal of pressure and play in an intense schedule. This not only affects their performance in the game, but also lowers their self-confidence, thus making them more prone to burnout. Lots of people tried to be perfect on many aspects of their lives, but according to the research by Gould, Tuffey, Udry and Loehr (1996a,1996b,1997). Athlete’s Perfectionism is one of main reason that leads to athlete burnout. The main objectives of this study are - 1. To get an overview of the perfectionism and athlete burnout from professional baseball players. 2. To study perfectionism and athlete burnout from different background variables. 3. To understand the relation between perfectionism and athlete burnout from professional baseball players. This study is based on athlete burnout questionnaires replied from 126 professional players in Taiwan, and 3 professional players oversea. The questionnaires were filled out during February and March this year. The result shows that the more players are inclined to neurotic perfectionism, the more likely they are prone to athlete burnout. The result from this study matches the results from many other researchers. We suggest team owner to adjust salary structure, and provide psychological counseling in order to reduce athlete burnout.
