Anket formunda, kişisel bilgilere ilişkin sorulara ek olarak, antrenörlerin sporcunun ailesi kavramına yönelik algılarını belirlemek amacıyla ''Sporcunun ailesi'gibidir çünkü..'' cümlesini tamamlamaları istenmiştir. Araştırmada elde edilen verilerin analizi ve yorumlanması sürecindeki aşamalar sırasıyla; metaforların belirlenmesi, metaforların sınıflandırılması, kategori geliştirme, geçerlik ve güvenirliği sağlama ve verilerin analizdir.
