“…Even though a large number of studies in this review focused specifically on team sports, each study measured athletes' MT individually and overlooked the concept and measurement of team MT. Research on resilience in sport has supported several psychosocial processes that distinguish team from individual resilience [51], indicating team resilience comprises more than merely totalling each team member's individual resilience [52]. The same could be expected for MT given that researchers have identified MT attributes (e.g., team unity) [53] that are germane to team, but not individual sports.…”

“…Related research also points to the significance of athletic [163][164][165][166][167][168][169][170] and exercise [171][172][173] identity, and this has fed into research that draws on notions of social identity to understand both exercise behaviour [174] and health behaviour [175], as well as event participation (e.g., in the Gay Games [176]). Along lines suggested above, the social identity approach can also be used to inform the current interest in personal [177] and collective [178] resilience in sport. Here, research has demonstrated that social identity and membership of multiple groups enhances resilience in the face of pain, and also aids heart rate recovery in athletes following winter sports training [179].…”

Drawing on social identity theory and self-categorization theory, we outline an approach to sport psychology that understands groups not simply as features of sporting contexts but rather as elements that can be, and often are, incorporated into a person's sense of self and, through this, become powerful determinants of their sport-related behavior. The underpinnings of this social identity approach are outlined, and four key lessons for sport that are indicative of the analytical and practical power of the approach are presented. These suggest that social identity is the basis for sports group (1) behavior, (2) formation and development, (3) support and stress appraisal, and (4) leadership. Building on recent developments within sport science, we outline an agenda for future research by identifying a range of topics to which the social identity approach could fruitfully contribute. Key Points• We outline a social identity approach to sport psychology based upon social identity and self-categorization theories.• We argue that this approach has the potential to make a significant, unique, and powerful contribution to the analysis of an array of phenomena and behaviors that are at the heart of sport and sport psychology.• In particular, the approach offers a comprehensive analysis of the ways in which individual psychology both structures, and is structured by, the dynamics of group life; this involves seeing groups not simply as features of sporting contexts but rather as elements that can be, and often are, incorporated into a person's sense of self and, through this, become powerful determinants of their sport-related behavior.
