Athletes, in addition to learn techniques and knowledge from their coaches during the training, often extend what they learn to a new level or create new techniques based on their personal experiences. However, in many training programs, players are inevitably influenced by domination and discipline from professional coaches. There are different kinds of power relations between a coach and a player. It is also possible for players to get stimulated or suppressed by themselves or under others' influences. In shorts, relations of body, power and knowledge are constantly involved when athletes' innovation techniques take place. The goal of this study is to investigate what situation athletes would face when trying to create new techniques. The methodology, consulting Foucault's three main theories about body, power and knowledge, aims at revealing the survival structures that athletes encounter. The results show that there are five kinds of mechanisms for players to develop their innovation techniques. First, "mutual mechanism" (two-way mechanism): a body- power-knowledge relation between a coach and a player. Second, "unit mechanism": the relation of body, power and knowledge is complete through the training unit by unit. Third, "indirect mechanism": the interrelation of body, power and knowledge in an indirect way. Forth, "identity opposite transition": the continuous transitive relationship between coaches and athletes. Fifth, "knowledge translation": the relation of body, power and knowledge is to change someone's knowledge into personal knowledge. Therefore, we can see that athletes' innovation techniques are actually manipulated by these complicated and perfectly-working mechanisms.
