We present commentary focused on the theoretical implications of Hardy et al.'s (2017) study of elite (E) and super-elite (SE) UK athletes. Athlete developmental experiences are first discussed, and we consider how Hardy et al.'s findings fit with extant and emerging theory regarding motivation and experiences of adversity. We then focus on athlete characteristics and propose a complementary theory-based interpretation of Hardy et al.'s findings based on the idea that SE athletes may be more focused on agency than E athletes. We consider this proposition in light of theory and empirical research addressing the agency and communion theoretical distinction.
我们呈现的评论聚焦于哈迪等人（2017年）对英国精英（E）和超级精英（SE）运动员的研究的理论意义。首先讨论运动员的发展经历，我们思考哈迪等人的研究结果如何与现有的以及新出现的关于动机和逆境经历的理论相契合。然后我们关注运动员的特征，并基于超级精英运动员可能比精英运动员更关注能动性这一观点，对哈迪等人的研究结果提出一种基于理论的补充性解释。我们根据涉及能动性与交融性理论区分的理论和实证研究来考量这一命题。
