The purpose of this study was to explore the dimensions of sport mental power, 'chung-sinn-ryuk,' among athletes in Korea. A total of 160 players (104 males and 56 females) in track and field, swimming, basketball, soccer, and baseball responded to open-ended questions designed to assess dimensions of mental power. Athletes reported their experiences (thoughts, feelings, and behaviors) felt before, during, and after competition to maintain and/or enhance their mental power. Content analysis was used to examine the elements of sport mental power. Specifically, 1650 meaningful responses were categorized into higher-order themes according to their similarities. resulting in 6 major dimensions. They include (a) yearning to win, (b) self-control, (c) self-confidence, (d) fighting instinct and perseverance, (e) psych-up, and (f) concentration. The dimension of yearning to win was most frequently reported by the players (38.30%), followed by self-control (18.30%), self-confidence (9.58%), and fighting instinct and perseverance (13.82%). For example, self-control and self-confidence were more frequently reported before competition than other times. Fighting instinct and perseverance and psych-up were more salient during competition, especially right before competition ends. These findings (a) suggest that sport mental power represents both mental energy and technique that help players achieve athletic excellence, and (b) demonstrated that the culturally-unique concept of mental power can be developed and serve as the knowledge base for culturally appropriate mental training strategies.
