Justine Vosloo, PhD. CMPC, Associate Professor from the Department of Exercise Science and Athletic Training published a paper: “The Transnational Experience of Sport Psychology Practitioners from Training to Practice ” in the May 2021 issue of one of the premier journals in the field: Psychology of Sport and Exercise. The paper examined the process of obtaining international training and educational experiences by expatriating, the process of repatriating and the challenges associated with this, and finally the lived experience of transnational migration in sport psychology practitioners.
In this qualitative study, participants highlighted the positive influence that their transnational training experiences had in their personal and professional lives. Their transnational experience fostered personal and professional growth through the provision of professional advantages in their countries of origin. However, the findings noted systematic barriers that professional organizations could address to facilitate the transnational experience of practitioners, which would subsequently enhance the cultural growth of the field.
