    Study Notes

    Chapter 19: Gender, Diversity, and Cultural Competence

    • Applied Sport Psychology Practitioners (SPP) must recognize the importance of cultural diversity, understanding that one size does not fit all.
    • Culture encompasses shared values, beliefs, and practices of identifiable groups, including gender, race, ethnicity, language, spirituality, sexuality, and physicality.

    What is Culture?

    • Culture refers to shared values, beliefs, and practices of a particular group.
    • Culture includes: gender, race, ethnicity, language, spirituality, sexuality, and physical ability.

    The Cultural Context of Sport

    • Gender and culture are intertwined in sports.
    • The "treat everyone the same" approach is insufficient in recognizing cultural differences.
    • Sports are primarily male-dominated.
    • Title IX (1972) brought about changes for women in sports, but challenges remain.
    • Women coaches often experience marginalization, devaluation, and homophobia.

    Cultural Diversity in Exercise and Physical Activity

    • Physical activity participation varies based on factors, like gender, race, age, and socioeconomic status.
    • The U.S. census data indicates limitations in physical activity based on these factors.

    Physical Activity Amongst Genders

    • Physical activity levels decrease during adolescence and are more prevalent in girls.
    • Gender scholarship shifted focus from sex differences to gender roles, personality, and societal factors.
    • Sport Psychology (SP) still needs improvement in this area.

    Cultural Competence and Social Justice in Sport Psychology

    • Cultural competence enables effective work with individuals from diverse backgrounds.
    • Cultural competent professionals empower participants, challenge restrictions, and advocate for social justice.
    • Three key components of cultural competence include: awareness of cultural values and biases, understanding diverse worldviews, and developing culturally appropriate skills.

    The International Society of Sport Psychology (ISSP)

    • The ISSP highlights three major areas of cultural competence: cultural competence (awareness of cultural variations and an individual's background), cultural competence/communication (involves meaningful dialogue and shared language), and cultural competence interventions.

    Culturally Competent SPP

    • Culturally competent SPPs work to be conscious of their personal reactions, biases, and prejudices, understanding their client’s worldview.
    • They also develop skills to work effectively with diverse people.
    • SPPs play an important role in advocating for sport to be a socially just environment where all feel supported.

    To Advance The Field

    • Culturally competent Sport Psychologists (SPCs) must develop their own multicultural competencies, advocating for social justice and inclusivity.
    • SPCs should acknowledge power relations and social issues within the sport environment, balancing concerns for the individual.
    • Recognition of cultural diversity and promotion of social justice in sports is crucial.

    Chapter 24: Athletes' Careers and Transitions

    • This chapter explores effective career guidance and support for athletes.
    • It addresses career assistance throughout an athlete’s life, covering transitions and career development beyond sport.

    Evolution of Athlete Career Approaches

    • Athlete career research has evolved significantly since the 1960s, with several key shifts.
    • Shift from a narrow focus on athletic retirement to broader career transitions.
    • Shift from non-sport-specific to sport-specific frameworks.
    • Increased focus from supporting retired athletes to supporting athletes of all ages and stages of their careers.
    • Transition from a focus on sports-related development to more holistic views of athletes.

    Evolution of Athlete Career Approaches

    • The evolution in sport psychology has involved developing a foundation between career development and career transition research.
    • Initially, athletes were viewed primarily as performers.
    • Current research sees athletes holistically, integrating sport into their overall lives.

    The Holistic Lifespan Perspective

    • This perspective offers a multidimensional view of athlete development.
    • Key areas considered include psychological, psychosocial, academic/vocational, and financial aspects of development.

    The Holistic-Ecological Perspective

    • This perspective examines a multitude of social influences on athletes, including: coaches, peers, schoolmates, teachers, and family.
    • Macrolevel influences, such as sport federations, national governing bodies, media, and youth culture, are also examined.

    Athletic Career

    • SPPs have various views on athletic careers.
    • Some see it as a multi-year, voluntary activity towards an athlete’s peak performance.
    • Others view it as a progression through different stages and transitions that lead to termination.
    • Some also view it as part of an ongoing contribution throughout an athlete’s life.

    Career Development Frameworks

    • The Holistic Athletic Career Model describes athlete development with five interconnected layers, including athletic (stages of initiation, development, mastery, and discontinuation), psychological (maturities), psychosocial (networks shift), academic/vocational stages, and financial considerations.

    Career Transitions

    • Career transitions can result from events or non-events that shift assumptions about oneself and the world.
    • This can occur due to significant life changes and the way these influence athletic development.

    Career Assistance

    • Career assistance is a professional area in sport psychology focusing on helping athletes with issues surrounding their careers, both in and outside of sport.

    Career Transitioning Frameworks

    • Frameworks for career transitions among athletes include the model of adaptation, the athletic career transition model, and schemes of change in sport psychology practice.

    Career Transition Interventions

    • Current interventions in career transitions include career planning, life development/skills training, lifestyle management, identity development, cultural adaptations, crisis coping education, and clinical intervention.
