The making of a champion : a constructed realityGaddie, Toni 08 1900 (has links)
This dissertation explores the construction and experience of the sports champion's
reality. In studying reality and its construction, I became familiar with, the post-modern
perspective of reality and with theories such as systems theory, cybernetics, radical
constructivism and social constructionism, which fall under the post-modern
epistemological umbrella. The dissertation gives an exposition of my journey through this
maze of theories, from a position of "knowing" how champions are made towards a more
complex position of uncertainty and possibility. This is followed by an account of the
qualitative research that I undertook, within a social constructionist framework, in which
I used thematic discourse analysis. Finally, I interpret the discourses emerging from the
analysis in order to demonstrate their operation or effect in the construction of a
champion's reality. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)
