ABSTRACT
Sport, exercise, and performance psychology (SEPP) practitioners increasingly find themselves working with athletes, coaches, and other sport professionals from a variety of cultural backgrounds (Schinke & Hanrahan, 2009). The meaning of one’s cultural background is complex because the cultural composition of any client’s background may include multiple, intersecting components, such as race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, socialization, geographic location, language, physicality, sexual orientation, and gender (Gill & Kamphoff, 2009; Schinke & Moore, 2011). Adding to this complexity is that some cultural identities are afforded more power and privilege than others based upon how they are classified (McGannon & Johnson, 2009).
