The purpose of this study is to provide information regarding the number of consulting positions offered by NCAA Division I universities. Questionnaires were administered to 115 NCAA Division I universities. An 84% return rate was achieved, totaling 96 universities. It was determined that 51 (53%) of the university athletic departments in the sample used some form of sport psychology consulting, whereas 45 (47%) departments reportedly did not use the services of a sport psychology consultant. Frequency reports of those questionnaires from universities who used sport psychology consulting services indicated 10 different sport psychology consultant positions; the most often used consultant positions consisted of the part-time consultants hired by individual sport programs (n = 19, 37%), followed by part-time consultants hired by the athletic departments (n = 10, 20%), then full-time consultants hired by the athletic departments (n = 7, 14%). Also reported are the reasons some athletic departments did not use the services of a sport psychology consultant.

qt t is unfortunate that in social survey work terms such as 1 reliability and validity, which are dichotomous in their classical origins (i.e., something is or is not reliable; something is or is not valid), take on variable meanings. And it is the variable meaning that is intended through our use of the terms when applied to the results of our comparison between two survey methodologies. We contend, based on the data reported in the article, that the key informant estimates of certain health-risk behavioral factors were &dquo;more valid&dquo; than estimates provided by the telephone survey technique, and that contention is stated with a number of caveats (e.g., given the population and the distribution of that population in New Mexico, etc.). There are, of course, other social survey methods that produce different estimates, and those can be used for comparison purposes (notes 4 and 6 made reference to such comparisons). Regarding seat belt use, mentioned in the preceding comments, an observational study conducted by the New Mexico Department of Transportation during the same period of time that the two surveys presented in our article were conducted resulted in the conclusion that only 11% of New Mexico's residents wear a seat belt. That obviously represents only a fraction of the estimates made by either the telephone or the key informant surveys. Because wearing a seat belt is not a statutory requirement in New Mexico, the &dquo;number of charges laid for not wearing seat belts&dquo; is not available, but records are kept by the State Police in all cases of

This paper examines the complex social space of basketball training sessions at a sports centre in superdiverse inner-city Leeds, contextualising the site in relation to stigmatising discourses that suggest disorderliness and a lack of social cohesion. The microanalysis of video data from the training sessions counteracts these discourses by showing how social orderliness, cooperation, and creativity unfold in the details of interaction. The significance of its contribution lies in its analysis of communication that bridges across semiotic modes, extending the concept of translanguaging to encompass embodied practice. This practice contributes to constituting a small culture within the basketball club.Este artículo examina el complejo espacio social de unas sesiones de entrenamiento de baloncesto en un polideportivo del centro de la ciudad superdiversa de Leeds. Se contrastan las prácticas que se observan en este contexto con los discursos sociales estigmatizadores que surgieren desorden y una falta de cohesión social. El micro análisis de datos de vídeo de las sesiones contrarresta estos discursos, demostrando como el orden social, la cooperación y la creatividad emergen poco a poco en los detalles de la interacción. El análisis demuestra que la comunicación abarca modos semióticos diferentes, extendiendo así el concepto de translanguaging -o de prácticas translingüísticas -para incluir practicas encarnadas. Estas prácticas contribuyen a la micro cultura del club de baloncesto.
