Stevenson (1997) reported that elite college athletes often turn to their spiritual beliefs to cope with the demands of their sport, in particular the dominant value system of sport. While some research has been conducted on the manner in which Christian athletes utilize their faith to cope with the dominant culture of winning, there appears to be a relative paucity of investigation on the manner in which elite coaches function in this environment. The purpose of this study was to describe an elite intercollegiate coach’s response to the dominant culture of sport as it related to his spiritual life. We attempted to examine the thought processes and behaviors of the coach, and report his solutions to some of the dilemmas reported in the previous work by Hoffman (1992) and Stevenson (1991a; 1991b; 1997). This case study involved one elite intercollegiate baseball coach at Walker State University [pseudonym]. We combined three different data sources for this study, including: participant observation, interviews, and documentary analysis. Data were collected throughout the fall baseball season, and raw data were arranged chronologically in the case study database. At the end of the fall baseball season, we read and reread the case record in an attempt to categorize emergent themes. Data sources were triangulated to aid the validity of the study (Mathison, 1988; Merriam, 1988; Patton, 1990). Comparisons were sought and themes generated from the collection and analysis of data. Data sources were categorized and similar items were combined into categories, and themes were generated from this categorization (Rovegno, 1998). Content analysis was conducted, through negative case analysis, member checks, and peer debriefing throughout the study as we were looking for both convergent and divergent themes. This elite intercollegiate coach was extremely committed to his relationship with Christ, but he was likewise heavily involved with the dominant culture of sport. This dichotomy fostered the development of attempted resolutions to conflicts that have resulted over time for this particular coach. The findings of this inquiry are reported according to the contradictions and resolution attempts made by Coach Jones. The contradictions seemed to be centered around (a) the importance of winning, (b) the importance of social status, and (c) his on and off the field behaviors. Coach Jones apparently resolved these contradictions by (a) disconnecting from sport, (b) utilizing a take-it-or leave it mentality, and (c) relying on God’s guidance and blessings.
