Abstract

Abstract In sport, athletes are socialized to the expectations of the athlete role (i.e., sport ethic), including those expectations that require them to sacrifice themselves and prioritize their sport. Through the socialization process, athletes learn the implications of their ability to sacrifice and focus to fulfill identity related expectations. For some athletes, informal expectations become mandates, and overconforming athletes utilize maladaptive efforts to meet those mandates (e.g., disordered eating behaviors, playing injured, performance enhancing substance use). As athletes’ identities evolve over time, their relationships with the sport ethic changes, requiring various interventions (e.g., narrative therapy, identity exploration/reorganization, motivational interviewing, acceptance and commitment therapy) from skilled professionals as they navigate their sport cultures. Therefore, practitioners working with athletes to navigate the sport ethic should be mindful of several considerations, including identity foreclosure and the sport subculture, which will inevitably have impact on their work.
唯一不变的是变化:通过叙事身份镜头探索体育过度整合的变化关系
在体育运动中,运动员被社会化为运动员角色的期望(即体育伦理),包括那些要求他们牺牲自己和优先考虑他们的运动的期望。通过社会化过程,运动员学会了他们的牺牲和专注能力的含义,以实现与身份相关的期望。对于一些运动员来说,非正式的期望变成了要求,过度服从的运动员利用不适应的努力来满足这些要求(例如,饮食失调,受伤,使用提高成绩的药物)。随着运动员的身份随着时间的推移而演变,他们与体育伦理的关系也发生了变化,这就需要熟练的专业人士在他们驾驭体育文化时进行各种干预(例如,叙事疗法、身份探索/重组、动机访谈、接受和承诺疗法)。因此,与运动员一起指导体育道德的从业人员应该注意几个因素,包括身份丧失和体育亚文化,这将不可避免地对他们的工作产生影响。
