A study delving into the impact of expectations on the well-being of young students in talent schools for sports found that while coach and parental expectations provided motivation, students also faced self-doubt and stress. Coaches played a crucial role in progress, yet excessive dependency on their approval could pose problems. Parental support was appreciated, but it also brought about performance pressure. Juggling these expectations proved tough and often led to fatigue and stress. The research highlights the need for coaches, teachers, and parents to be mindful of fostering healthy expectations for the well-being of young performers.
