Abstract
The range of convenience
of PCP has proved to be quite large, and one of the fields in which it can fully
prove its usefulness is sport psychology. In the past, thanks in particular to
the contributions of Richard Butler and David Savage, we had important examples
of the way in which PCP tools can help understand and facilitate athletes' and
coaches' experiences. In this paper I will try to look at sportspersons'
experience through the lenses of PCP and in particular of the Sociality
Corollary. In the first part I will outline my tentative effort to subsume
athletic experience by means of PCP professional constructs. In the second part
I will illustrate my constructivist approach by means of a case study.
Keywords: constructivist sport
psychology, sociality corollary
