“…Norms and basic assumptions of the organization can have a powerful influence on individual members (athletes, ATs, medical professionals, and coaching staff). Pressure to conform can alter attitude/behavior expressions an individual would otherwise display [45–47]. Recent studies have established the importance of coaches’ or ATs’ roles in concussion reporting [40,48].…”

Concussion among athletes is an issue of growing concern, with efforts underway to improve detection, diagnosis, and treatment. Success depends on communication by athletes, as brain-related symptoms are often not outwardly visible. Education programs to increase reporting behavior have not been successful to date. In accordance with the socioecological approach to health, we argue that multiple levels of influence on student athletes must be addressed, and report a multi-dimensional, mixed-methods research project conducted to identify possible points of intervention into changing the culture of concussion-injury reporting among collegiate athletes. Using quantitative, qualitative and interpretive methods, we examine the individual-level vested interests athletes have in reporting or not reporting concussion symptoms, and how these interests interact with community-level team culture and interpersonal relationships , and social-level cultural narratives to influence concussion-reporting behavior. Our findings confirm the viability of this approach, identifying immediacy, separation of responsibility and pain-enduring story systems as particularly salient elements. We conclude that competing performance versus safety value structures, reflected in cultural narratives and team culture, create mixed-messages for athletes, which are resolved in favor of performance because athletes perceive concussion injuries to be of low immediacy.

“…Sports to shape community and to generate conflict, for individual pride or ethnic pride, for nationalism or for international conquest embody material culture [25]. All the elements of success, trophies and fans, combine to create a level of culture that is a very visible and valuable part [26]. Talking about sports, watching sporting events, and playing sports forms a kind of cultural currency in society, where those who can do these things well achieve admiration and respect [27].…”

History records that sport has become an important part of Muslim civilization, but it is covered by the notion that the development of sports only originates from the civilization of the Western world. The danger that may arise from this assumption is that it creates superiority in the character and culture of European nations, simultaneously causing inferiority to the character of other nations, especially Muslims. Sports in Islam is synonymous with training the body, mind and spirit. Indonesia as a country with the largest number of Muslims in the world, of course, Islamic culture is thick in everyday life, including in the activity of sports. The purpose of this article is to explore the culture of the Islamic community in Indonesia in relation to sports. This article uses a qualitative descriptive method to support the achievement of the objectives of this article.

“…Empirical qualitative research in this field is relatively scarce but that which does exist, features: examinations of how Christian athletes negotiate the paradoxical cultures and norms of elite-competitive sport and Christianity (Stevenson, 1997(Stevenson, , 1991; also see, Schroeder and Scribner, 2006;Curry, 1988), the experience of athletes in Christian sports leagues (Dunn and Stevenson, 1998) and a case study exploring how a Christian intercollegiate coach at an evangelical American college responds to the dominant values of competitive sport (Bennett et al, 2005, also see Hunt, 1999). Scholars have also explored embodiment in relation to identity-construction in Christian physical education teachers (Macdonald and Kirk, 1999;Macdonald, 1998; also see, Riesen, 2007) and the notion of 'athletic identity' through a theological and psychological lens (Watson, 2011b).…”
