SUMMARY:Virtual Sport & Performance Psychology Special Interest Group
DESCRIPTION:
- Date: June 3rd
- 11am PST/ 8pm CET
- Topic:
- Psychological Effects of Discrimination in Sports
- Grassroots Inclusive Sports: Building Relationships with Teams and
Organizations
- Speaker: David “Dirk” Smith
- Title: I Feel So Happy and Sporty and GAY! How Discr
imination Impacts Performance and Drives the Emergence of Grassroots Inclus
ive Sports
- Description: 2023 has seen a significan
t rise in discrimination and violence targeted at the LGBTQI (Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex) community. With over 400 bills
introduced in local, state, and federal governments seeking to strip the r
ights from and persecute LGBTQI people simply for existing. Sports itself h
as always lagged behind greater society in terms of acceptance and inclusio
n of LGBTQI people, with this rise of bigotry threatening the progress alre
ady made. For this workshop, we will unpack how discrimination and bigotry
against LGBTQI athletes influences sport performance, mental health, and pa
rticipation. We will also explore how this has also led to the emergence of
LGBTQI specific sport structures, teams, leagues and sporting events such
as the Gay Games as well as the underlying reasons why LGBTQI continue to p
ursue sports despite the discrimination.
