Abstract
Despite recent conceptual, methodological, and theoretical advancements, how to nurture Sport Injury-Related Growth (SIRG) has received limited research attention. The aim of this study was to draw upon sport psychologists’ experiences of working with injured athletes to develop a model of how to facilitate SIRG. Participants who were purposefully sampled (4 females, 6 males; M age of 41 years), participated in semi-structured interviews. Transcripts were
thematically analyzed. Methodological rigor and generalizability were maximized through self reflexivity and eliciting external reflections before seeking publication. A five-phase Applied-Model of Sport Injury-Related Growth (AM-SIRG) was identified. The five phases comprised:Hear the Story, Contextualize the Story, Reconstruct the Story, Live the Story, and Share the Story. How this model extends theoretical knowledge and professional practice is critically discussed.
