Sammendrag
The main purpose of the current study was to examine how the coach-athlete working
alliance, psychological resilience and perceived stress are uniquely associated with burnout among
junior athletes in sport. A sample of 670 Norwegian junior athletes practicing a variety of sports
participated in the study. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that the bond dimension
of the working alliance, the protective factors ‘planned future’ and ‘structured style’, as well as
perceived stress, all contributed uniquely to the explanation of athlete burnout. A dominance analysis
identified perceived stress to have the strongest relative influence on athlete burnout among the set of
variables investigated in this study. The findings are discussed in terms of applied implications and
possible future research.
