SPORT PSYCHOLOGY AS CULTURAL PRAXIS: FUTURE TRAJECTORIES AND CURRENT POSSIBILITIES

Journal Title: Sport Mont - Year 2010, Vol 0, Issue 21

Abstract

In this paper, I argue for the development of a “sport psychology as cultural praxis” (Ryba & Wright, 2005) discourse that reflects the paradigmatic shift that I believe would provide a viable gateway for the entry of psychology of sport into the arena of (post)sport studies. I begin with an outline of future trajectories of the discipline and focus on a brief theoretical articulation of the intersection of applied sport psychology and cultural studies as one of the possible approaches to future work in sport psychology. Next I illustrate how the hegemonic origin story limits the discourse and practice of the field. I conclude with a call for increased interdisciplinarity and the incorporation of international trajectories into European sport psychology.
