COLLADO MARTINEZ, J.A. e SANCHEZ SANCHEZ, M.. The process of becoming to be excellent in sport: the case of Pau Gasol. CPD [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.3, pp.231-238. ISSN 1989-5879.
The existing research focuses on understanding the process of transitioning towards excellence in sport through a single case study. Through the implementation of the biographical methodology, three major dimensions have been analyzed (sporting, social, and personal), of which include 5, 4 and 8 categories respectively. Thus, biographical sources were selected from subject Pau Gasol because they were the best suited to the proposal of the study and the categorial system established based on other research and the conceptual framework. In addition, it would have taken into account the criteria of transferability and credibility to provide quality research. The results indicate that, in order to achieve excellence in sport, it is vital that the athlete is driven by intrinsic motivation, a self-dedication that permits for sacrifices to be made in order to co-train and self-train, and ultimately a resilience to overcome and learn from mistakes. The social factor stresses the importance of the family as the emotional support, as facilitators and models of the practice of sports, transmitting the value of effort. With regard to the coach, there is a profile with different roles between the formative stages and the elite.
