Abstract [en]

The integration of self-compassion is becoming more common in sport; however, there are many considerations for how to effectively integrate self-compassion in differing sport contexts. The goals for participants in this applied workshop are to 1) to learn about self-compassion (Neff, 2003; Gilbert, 2009) and key research findings relevant to competitive sport (Mosewich et al., 2019), 2) experience a range of self-compassion exercises applicable in sport, and 3) reflect and critically discuss how to effectively deliver self-compassion exercises and embed self-compassion strategies in applied sport psychology settings. In doing so, we place a strong focus on considering important factors such as context and population. To achieve these goals, an international collaboration of experts will lead and demonstrate a variety of evidence-based self-compassion exercises with participants (e.g., imagery exercises, cognitive behavioral exercises, psychoeducation; e.g., Germer & Neff, 2019; Van den Brink & Koster, 2015). Participants will then (a) discuss in small groups how to best integrate the exercises into their specific sport context, (b) share the results of the group discussion within a plenary session, and (c) provide and receive feedback on the presented ideas from the other participants and the international experts. Overall, the workshop will emphasize how to integrate self-compassion into diverse sport contexts with a range of sport participants (e.g., athletes, coaches, officials). Throughout, reference will be made to current research findings as well as exemplary cases from the experience of the international experts. Participants will receive a compilation of all exercises and worksheets.
