Abstract

In this article the authors describe how one sport psychology consultant (SPC) worked with soccer and basketball teams that were composed of adolescent male players from conflicting cultures (Jewish and Arab). The article also highlights the fact that in order to foster relationships among the players, the SPC used a three-dimensional approach--working with the coaches of the teams, the players, and the parents of the players. The authors describe the types of consultation sessions the SPC had with the coaches, players, and parents and the activities he preferred to use in his consultations. The authors also present a number of lessons they have learned from their work with adolescent players from conflicting cultures.
