Athletes reported managing academics, time management, technology use, and finances as core stressors tied to training and performance demands. The intervention taught deep breathing, guided imagery, mandala coloring, and self-hand massage to strengthen basic psychological needs and support coping. Self-reports indicated development of active coping skills and improved awareness of stress symptoms and benefits of learned techniques. Although statistical significance was not found, data triangulation provided a rich account of experiences, with participants reporting continued use outside sessions and positive

Eichner  \nSubmitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the  \nDoctor of Philosophy Degree in  \nFoundations in Education: Educational Psychology  \nThe University of Toledo  \nMay 2022  \nAbstract  \nThis study utilized a convergent-parallel mixed methods design to explore the usefulness of a remote relaxation-based intervention’s ability to foster mindfulness and selfdetermination for stress management by collegiate athletes. Although stress is a common experience related to college retention, collegiate athletes experience additional stressors related to athletic training and performance. Through thematic analysis, this research found that collegiate athletes identified managing academics, time management, use of technology, and finances as primary stressors. A remote relaxation-based intervention was offered the participants an opportunity to learn and experience deep breathing, guided imagery, mandala coloring, and self-hand massage interventions designed to increase mindfulness and coping for stress management while strengthen the basic psychological needs. Participant self-reports, identified that they were able to learn active coping skills that allowed them to manage stressors. They demonstrated mindfulness related to identification of their stress through their self-reports of symptoms, need for interventions, and benefits of techniques learned. Although statistical significance was  \nnot found, triangulation of the data allowed for a rich understanding of participants experiences and demonstrated that the participants were able to utilize the techniques learned to manage their stress levels with positive outcomes. Participants also reported that they were utilizing the techniques learned outside of the intervention sessions to manage stress. At the conclusion of the interventions, participants reported that if such interventions were made available to them on campus, nearly half reported they would utilize these resources again, demonstrating buy-in for the usefulness of the techniques by the participants.  \nAcknowledgements  \nI would like to express my sincere gratitude to the following individuals.
