The Psychology of Sub-Culture in Sport and Physical Activity

This book extends the recent interest in culture within sport psychology to include less mainstream sports such as martial arts, circus arts, extreme sports, and dance. The chapters will help sports participants and social scientists gain an understanding of marginalized sporting identities, and challenge issues such as exclusion, miscommunication, and ineffective practice in sport. It will be ideal reading for sport and exercise academics and practitioners, advanced students of applied sport psychology, and in related fields such as sport science, critical studies, sociology, cultural studies and social anthropology.
