“…Indeed, although social identity can be a motivational force for good, it can also lead to aggression, hooliganism, and violence towards sporting outgroups [102,104,105,[193][194][195][196][197][198]. Moreover, in this context, violent action toward outgroups can come to be seen as legitimate-such that, for example, injurious "tackles" and slurs against opposition players are seen as "fair" and "nothing personal" (at the same time that these same acts by opponents are seen as entirely unreasonable).…”

Drawing on social identity theory and self-categorization theory, we outline an approach to sport psychology that understands groups not simply as features of sporting contexts but rather as elements that can be, and often are, incorporated into a person's sense of self and, through this, become powerful determinants of their sport-related behavior. The underpinnings of this social identity approach are outlined, and four key lessons for sport that are indicative of the analytical and practical power of the approach are presented. These suggest that social identity is the basis for sports group (1) behavior, (2) formation and development, (3) support and stress appraisal, and (4) leadership. Building on recent developments within sport science, we outline an agenda for future research by identifying a range of topics to which the social identity approach could fruitfully contribute. Key Points• We outline a social identity approach to sport psychology based upon social identity and self-categorization theories.• We argue that this approach has the potential to make a significant, unique, and powerful contribution to the analysis of an array of phenomena and behaviors that are at the heart of sport and sport psychology.• In particular, the approach offers a comprehensive analysis of the ways in which individual psychology both structures, and is structured by, the dynamics of group life; this involves seeing groups not simply as features of sporting contexts but rather as elements that can be, and often are, incorporated into a person's sense of self and, through this, become powerful determinants of their sport-related behavior.

“…Moreover, a variable can be related to positive development in one domain but negative outcomes in another. For example, adolescent participation in sports can serve as a protective factor for tobacco use (Guo, Reeder, McGee, & Darling, 2011), depression, and suicidal ideation (Babiss & Gangwisch, 2009), but it has also been implicated as a risk factor for alcohol use (Sonderlund et al, 2014).…”

a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f oThe current study examined the association between quantity, variety, and configuration of developmental assets with risk behaviors (tobacco and alcohol use) and developing emotional problems (depressive feelings and suicidal thoughts). A sample of 12,040 high school students completed surveys investigating youth health and risk behaviors, and developmental assets. Independent one-step logistic regression analyses showed that adolescents reporting a higher quantity of assets, and possessing them in multiple domains, tended to have a lower likelihood of experiencing behavioral and emotional problems. The negative association between developmental assets and negative outcomes was more consistent when quantity and variety were taken into account simultaneously, thus supporting the configuration protective model. A sufficient amount of strengths, in an adequate number of different domains, seems to provide the strongest protection against negative developmental outcomes. The research and clinical implications of findings are discussed.

“…Sports participation is also associated with greater involvement in certain health-risk behaviors such as disordered eating, aggressive behavior, and interpersonal violence (de Oliveira Coelho, de Silva Gomes, Ribeiro, & de Abreu Soares, 2014;Sønderlund et al, 2014). Minority athletes often face unique challenges, such as harassment and discrimination, that might increase their involvement in certain risk behaviors (NCAA, 2014).…”

Many adolescent and young adult athletes only access the healthcare system through involvement in sports. Yet, many opportunities are missed in the sports medicine environment to provide holistic, quality care for these athletes that assist them in navigating toward healthy adulthood and that also address inequities that impair good health. Since most causes of morbidity and mortality in this age group are related to poor health behaviors, and comprehensive health care services are fragmented, it is imperative that sports medicine healthcare be reimagined to incorporate a social-ecological perspective that holistically addresses the unique medical, social, cultural, and behavioral needs of athletes. We propose a socialecological perspective that enhances developmental assets as the basis for sports medicine services. This innovative approach -the Holistic Athletic Healthcare Model -involves (a) addressing adolescent developmental needs and the social determinants of health at the individual level, (b) using strength-based approaches and demonstrating cultural competency in healthcare provider relationships, (c) integrating medical care with campus community services, and (d) promoting health equity in the campus environment. Engagement in sports has many benefits beyond winning in the game and health is more than being injury-free. Sports medicine practitioners and healthcare systems must be proactive in supporting athletes from all backgrounds to become healthy adults.
