“…This thought led us to use the recent ISSP Position Stand on culturally competent research and practice in sport and exercise psychology (Ryba, Stambulova, Si, & Schinke, 2013) as the third source of inspiration for this review. In this paper the authors state that 'many sport and exercise psychology professionals are intuitive or naive cultural or cross-cultural researchers lacking awareness of how all aspects of their projects are culturally infused' (p. 137) and suggest criteria for identifying sport and exercise psychology projects from the cross-cultural and cultural psychology perspectives:…”

In this review article, a content area of athlete career in sport psychology is analyzed through the cultural lens: that is, through paradigmatic perspectives of cross-cultural psychology, cultural psychology, and cultural studies. Based on previous review papers, but mainly on the chapters of the anthology Athletes' Careers across Cultures, we identified three dominant (North American, Australian, and European) and two emerging (Asian and South American) cultural discourses in the career topic. These discourses are characterized by research foci, theoretical frameworks, and career assistance programs in action. Our critical analysis of career research and assistance around the world further indicates a need for more contextualized and culturally competent career projects, which blend theory/research, applied work, and lived culture into cultural praxis. To satisfy this need, a new paradigm termed cultural praxis of athletes' careers is suggested. In conclusion, we emphasize the importance of review papers in negotiating emerging terminology, values, principles, and approaches underlying the career topic, and share some ideas for future reviews in career research and assistance.

“…In order to avoid unjustified generalizations in different cultural environments, it is necessary to consider a common pattern in different cultures as well as possible cultural differences that have already been noted in other studies (Ungar et al, 2005b;Tao et al, 2007;Desha et al, 2007;Hume et al, 2011;Ryba, Stambulova, Si, & Schinke, 2013). The current investigation was conducted in the Lithuanian cultural and social environment where adolescents grow up and may have significant differences.…”

This study analyzes resilience differences between sedentary adolescents and adolescents that were classified as belonging to different sport activity categories in gender and age groups (grades 5-6, 7-8 and 9-10). The data were taken from the 2008 study which had been carried out in five biggest cities in Lithuania. The self-reported data on resilience (Resilience Scale for Adolescents, READ) and participation in sport activities (Consistent Five Categories Schema) were obtained from adolescents whose age ranged from 10.4 to 18.3 years for females (N = 1492) and from 10.5 to 18.1 years for males (N = 1407). Significant differences were observed that indicated that adolescents could have higher resilience in comparison with sedentary peers if they participated in sport activities in line with the optimal level of participation in sport activities for resilience according to their gender and age (effect sizes were rather small; the Bonferroni correction (p \ .0125) was applied). According to the research data, there are possible specific mechanisms of interaction between resilience and participation in sport activities, and also, each age and gender group could involve a relevant different optimal level of participation in sport activities when resilience of adolescents is higher compared to sedentary peers. Evaluation of specific mechanisms of interrelation between resilience and participation in sports can promote improvement when preparing and implementing sport activity programs, designing them in a more specific way in terms of adolescent mental health and resilience education.

“…To increase the National Team's effectiveness, the first author initiated a project entitled "Psychological Support for Olympic Preparation of Canadian Men's Boxing Team". The project is designed as the Olympic Cycle intervention study inspired by the scientist-practitioner model (Jarvis, 1999;Lane & Corrie, 2006) stimulating a practitioner to also be a researcher and by ideas of the cultural praxis of athletes' careers paradigm encouraging cultural situatedness of, and participants' active involvement in, career research/applied projects, and emphasising holistic views of athletes and their environments with an attention to individual career pathways (see also Henriksen, 2010;Ryba, Stambulova, Si, & Schinke, 2013;Wylleman & Lavallee, 2004;Wylleman & Reints, 2010). The athletes are imbedded into the Canadian sport and boxing contexts and international Olympic boxing culture.…”
