Description
Overview
The absence of multicultural awareness—that is, deliberate engagement with the various histories, lived experiences, beliefs, and other facets of diverse groups of people—stymies the sport psychology field in many ways, keeping it overwhelmingly white and, traditionally, disproportionately gendered male (Cooper et al., 2017). Within that awareness lies the understanding that interpersonal relationships, like mentorship, are also affected and impact the broader learning experience for individuals (Soheilian et al., 2014). Tibbetts and Parks Smith (2022) argue that historically the field of sport psychology centers “hegemonic viewpoints” and lacks “multiculturalism and awareness of intersectional oppression and marginalized identities” (p. 1). Among other things, Tibbetts and Parks Smith (2022) contend, “Practitioners who serve as mentors should also be able and willing to deliberately discuss racism, misogyny, societal barriers, cultural events, and other obstacles that exist in sports and academia” (p. 13). This webinar is designed to highlight this important discussion while educating and supporting mentors working with mentees who are in pursuit of mental performance certification and advanced practice.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
- Define their foundational framework for multiculturalism, mentorship, and their intersectional relevance.
- Explore relevant examples of how cultural considerations impact the mentor-mentee experience.
- Establish a toolkit of models and strategies that they can infuse into their mentorship practice and relationship with mentees.
