Growth Following Adversity in Sport: A Mechanism to Positive Change
is the first text to carefully consider the positive changes that
may follow adverse experiences in sport at micro (e.g.,
individual), meso (e.g., dyadic, team), and macro levels (e.g.,
organizational, cultural). While remaining respectful of the
despair and distress that can follow adversity, this comprehensive
text aims to provide a narrative of hope to those who have
experienced adversity in sport by showcasing the latestadvances in
research on growth following adversity. This book covers topics as
diverse as: conceptual, theoretical, and methodological
considerations; cultural, organizational, and relational
perspectives; population-specific insights (e.g., gender,
disability, youth); and applied implications (e.g., evidence-based,
practice-based). Written and edited by a team of international
experts and emerging talents from around the world, each chapter
considers the nature and meaning of growth, contains a
comprehensive review of empirical research or reflections from
professional practice, and offers exciting, novel, and rigorous
suggestions for future programs of research that aim to promote
positive change in sport to support the safety, wellbeing, and
welfare of the people who take part (e.g., athletes, coaches, paid
employees, volunteers). Cutting-edge, timely, and comprehensive,
Growth Following Adversity in Sport: A Mechanism to Positive Change
is essential reading for postgraduate students and scholars in the
fields of sport psychology, injury and rehabilitation, sport theory
and other related sport science disciplines.

When Paxton Graves discovers she can travel between Earth and the
war-torn Terra, will she stay in the safety of the life she knows
or leave it all behind to find the mother she thought she
lost? After her mother's mysterious disappearance when she
was six, Paxton Graves spent her life just wishing she could escape
it . . . until the day she finally did. She always knew she was a
freak; abandoned by her mother, raised by her alcoholic father, and
then there were the "episodes"—her vivid, almost too real dreams
that would come anytime of the day or night, without warning,
followed by her waking to the sound of her own gut-wrenching wails.
Then one night at a party, she finds herself immersed into the
world from her dreams and face-to-face with a strange boy called
Ari who introduces her to the world she thought only existed in her
mind.
