Debra will also explain her own journey into the mental health landscape, and what inspired her to co-found Curis Functional Health – an organization that helps unlock people's optimal health through physical, mental, and nutritional care.

Athletes responded to this question via confidential letters, providing a wealth of knowledge for coaches, sport administrators, and all who care for athletes. From heartfelt thank-you letters to painful accusations and everything in between, Dear Coach gives athletes a rare platform in the sports reform debate, beginning a much-needed conversation between athletes and coaches directly. Even so, the communication problems in sport are not just personal, but systemic. Dr. Erdner wrote Dear Coach with the intent to start a much needed conversation so all sport stakeholders can learn how to point sport in a more inclusive and equitable direction for all.

“Drive on”: The relationship between psychological variables and effective squad leadership. By Gilson, Todd A.; Dix, Melissa A.; Lochbaum, Marc Military Psychology, Vol 29(1), Jan 2017, 58-67. Abstract The U.S. Reserve Officer Training Program (ROTC) conducts systematic assessments of cadets’ leadership abilities during field training exercises (FTX) to assess their leadership abilities. While cadets in ROTC programs learn specific tactical operation procedures to augment FTX performances, much less is known about the relationship between psychological variables and squad leadership performance. To this end, 220 cadets completed self-efficacy, psychological flexibility, and grit questionnaires, which were then compared to FTX performance scores. Results underscored that only self-efficacy was significantly related to cadets’ squad leadership ability. Furthermore, prior service in the U.S. Army had no effect on the performance score one attained, highlighting an interesting paradox. Therefore, while self-efficacy can be cultivated through prior experiences, it seems more prudent to educate ROTC cadets on how to apply psychological skills to bolster self-efficacy in preparation for upcoming challenging leadership experiences.

Study: Self Talk: Review and Sport Specific Model Abstract:  Self-talk is a key component of the sport psychology canon. Although self-talk has been widely endorsed by athletes and coaches as a performance enhancement strategy, a comprehensive model of self-talk in sport that might be used to guide systematic research has yet to be developed. This purpose of this paper is to: (a) review theory and research related to self-talk in sport; and (b) present a sport-specific model that builds upon existing theory and research, and addresses key questions related to self-talk. The paper begins with a definition of self-talk, developed with consideration of the discursive nature of inner speech and dual process theories. Extant self-talk models related to self-talk in sport are reviewed and serve as a foundation for a sport-specific model of self-talk. Components of the model (i.e., self-talk, System 1, System 2, behaviour, contextual factors, personal factors) are presented, the reciprocal relationships among model components are explored, and implications of the sport-specific model of self-talk are discussed.   Author: Judy L. Van Raalte, PhD, is a certified consultant for the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP) and listed in the United States Olympic Committee Sport Psychology Registry. She has presented at conferences in 18 countries and published over 90 articles in peer-reviewed journals. Her research has been funded by the National Institutes of Mental Health, the NCAA, and the International Tennis Federation. Van Raalte served as president of the American Psychological Association's Society of Sport, Exercise & Performance Psychology (APA Division 47) and vice president of the International Society of Sport Psychology. She is a fellow of APA and AASP. Research Interests Self-talk Body image Professional issues in sport and exercise psychology     Links:   http://springfield.edu/directory/judy-l-van-raalte   http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1469029215000874     Quotes:   “If we already know everything that we know, then why would we talk to ourselves?”   “When you ask people after the fact, they tend to be pretty poor at remembering what they were thinking, or what their experiences were.”   “So people who think they are not really great, and say I’m not really great, and then are told to think ‘No your awesome’, sometimes get stuck in thinking and actually feel worse, and up performing worse.”   “You don’t have to act on every thought you have.  It just might be part of the process and normal because sport can be frustrating.”   “How much self-talk is too much?” “So what I think is new is looking at all the relationships between these factors and then opening things up to really consider peoples own private experiences with system one self talk.”

Study: Swimming Upstream: Former Diversity Committee Chairs’ Perceptions of the Association for Applied Sport Psychology’s Commitment to Organizational Diversity Abstract: Commitment to diversity within the field of sport psychology is a crucial yet underrepresented research topic. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of individuals who have been instrumental in trying to effect diversity change within the Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP). Seven of 10 former AASP Diversity Committee chairs were interviewed about their experiences as chairs. Three main themes resulted: (a) the overall experience of being diversity chair, (b) perceived challenges to implementation of initiatives, and (c) perceived current state of affairs related to diversity. Future directions for research and application are given, including a recommendation that AASP create a specific diversity action plan, establishing a clear description of what diversity means within AASP. Moving beyond demographic or visual categories (e.g., skin color, sexual identity, ability status), a broader definition that encompasses the values, beliefs, and practices of a variety of intersectional identities is required through careful consideration and discussion.   Author: Emily Roper Dr. Emily Roper is an associate professor at Sam Houston State University. She obtained her master’s degree in sport and exercise psychology from the University of Toronto and doctoral degree in cultural studies with an emphasis in sport and exercise psychology from the university of Tennessee. Her journey into sport psychology began her junior year of undergrad when she stumbled upon and article about goal setting and tennis performance. From that point on she followed her interest in the blending of psychology and sport. Her current research interests include representations of physically active females in children’s and young adult literature and concerns for safety among women exercising/recreating outdoors and the newly emerging field of cultural sport psychology.   Links:   Author: http://www.shsu.edu/academics/health-sciences/about-the-college/faculty/kinesiology/roper.html   Article: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10413200.2014.940090
