ABSTRACT
The aim of this chapter is to present a series of gratitude research in sport to highlight the needs to promote athletes’ well-being. This chapter presents several important issues for the gratitude literature in sport. For example, I discuss the necessity of gratitude in sports, the theoretical underpinning of the relationship between gratitude and well-being, current developments in applications of gratitude in sport, and strategies to cultivate athletes’ gratitude. Finally, I propose several possible directions to further investigate gratitude in sport such as concerns the contextualization and level of gratitude.
