This study utilized a convergent-parallel mixed methods design to explore the usefulness of a remote relaxation-based intervention's ability to foster mindfulness and self-determination for stress management by collegiate athletes. Although stress is a common experience related to college retention, collegiate athletes experience additional stressors related to athletic training and performance. Through thematic analysis, this research found that collegiate athletes identified managing academics, time management, use of technology, and finances as primary stressors. A remote relaxation-based intervention was offered the participants an opportunity to learn and experience deep breathing, guided imagery, mandala coloring, and self-hand massage interventions designed to increase mindfulness and coping for stress management while strengthen the basic psychological needs. Participant self-reports, identified that they were able to learn active coping skills that allowed them to manage stressors. They demonstrated mindfulness related to identification of their stress through their self-reports of symptoms, need for interventions, and benefits of techniques learned. Although statistical significance was not found, triangulation of the data allowed for a rich understanding of participants experiences and demonstrated that the participants were able to utilize the techniques learned to manage their stress levels with positive outcomes. Participants also reported that they were utilizing the techniques learned outside of the intervention sessions to manage stress. At the conclusion of the interventions, participants reported that if such interventions were made available to them on campus, nearly half reported they would utilize these resources again, demonstrating buy-in for the usefulness of the techniques by the participants.
