This holistic technique has been shown to influence a number of psychological constructs important to performance, such as self-awareness and intrinsic motivation. Different variations of the performance profile are available for professionals to use in practice. The aims of this paper are to overview performance profiling and its underpinning theory, provide sport psychology professionals with applied guidelines to implement each version, and discuss practitioner experiences when using different variations of the tool.","PeriodicalId":45448,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sport Psychology in Action","volume":"46 1","pages":"213 - 225"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2020-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80442581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One framework that may help us understand the psychological processes of the recipients of social justice education is the transtheoretical model. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the utility of the transtheoretical model as a framework for understanding behavior change in social justice education in kinesiology. We provide a brief introduction of the transtheoretical model and examples of how social justice educators can use the five stages of change as a guiding framework to design educational materials that promote beliefs and behavior change for social justice.","PeriodicalId":45448,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sport Psychology in Action","volume":"24 1","pages":"181 - 195"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2020-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81590204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ALEs bring significant linguistic and cultural resources, but can struggle to communicate in English. Concurrently, coaches may be challenged to meet these athletes’ needs as language learners. In this article, we describe how intersecting English as a Second Language classroom teaching practices with quality coaching can support language development and sociocultural transitions for ALEs. In doing so, we provide specific considerations coaches can implement into their coaching toolkits to help promote effective communication, relationship building, and enhanced athlete experience.","PeriodicalId":45448,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sport Psychology in Action","volume":"12 1","pages":"155 - 166"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2020-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73948657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present work, we utilized a novel technique and sought out the perspectives of multiple stakeholders to craft a mission statement for an elite youth volleyball club on the east coast of the United States. Prior to the competitive season, a subset of club administrators (n = 3) head coaches (n = 6), parents (n = 10), and athletes (n = 11) participated in Mad Libs, a phrasal word game in which individuals are asked to fill in missing words in a prescribed, written story template. Key mission-relevant words were left blank, and beneath each blank was a prompt such as “noun (what the club should provide)”, “verb (what the club should do)”, or “adjective (kind of partnerships the club should build).” Participants completed stories individually, and responses were synthesized using content analysis. We then crafted a three-sentence mission statement and shared it with club stakeholders at a preseason meeting. The mission statement was adopted by the club and guides the direction of the club and its members. Importantly, our work highlights a novel technique, informed by a range of stakeholder perceptions and experiences, that can be used to craft an organizational mission statement in elite youth sport.","PeriodicalId":45448,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sport Psychology in Action","volume":"6 1","pages":"143 - 154"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2020-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91060108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While these components provide value for researchers hoping to advance knowledge, practitioners may find it difficult to replicate or implement such interventions in the real world. Many published intervention studies either under-report or provide overly complex methodology, and thus, intervention researchers may be inadvertently widening the research-to-practice gap in sport psychology. Using a recent applied imagery intervention as an exemplar, methodological components that were either under-reported or overly complex are discussed and re-presented as practical recommendations for practitioners. Future recommendations are also provided with the hope of narrowing the research-to-practice gap.","PeriodicalId":45448,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sport Psychology in Action","volume":"26 1","pages":"101 - 113"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2020-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79706092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
