The Return to Sport Process and Psychological Readiness

 

Your text presents a conceptual outline of the return to sport process and discusses readiness to return to sport including psychological readiness.

Please discuss the following:

1) Who is included or on your “team” regarding the return to play decision making process (or who ideally would you like to see included) in your professional setting?

2) Gledhill and Forsdyke posit that athletes should only return to sport when they are physically AND psychologically ready.  Do you have experience with the return to play decision making process? How have psychological factors been considered or measured? Has your thinking regarding return to sport changed during this module?

3) How might you convince a resistant coach or administrator to support psychological readiness when applied to return to sport?

This discussion is worth 20 points and will conclude Sunday night.  You should be fully engaged within the discussion.
