ABSTRACT
Gender discrimination is ever-present in sport culture, and to dismantle it, sport psychology practitioners (SPPs) must appreciate that it exists. The authors approach gender with nuance and attempt to highlight the intersectional relevance and overlap of gender experiences with other intersectional identities while being mindful that all experiences are unique. The authors frame the need for practitioners to be culturally humble when using gendered terms and working with diverse individuals. Present-day examples of gender discrimination in sport are then presented. In doing so, the authors illuminate research and literature that demonstrate not only the existence of gender discrimination and its influence on athlete experiences but also the need for more culturally inclusive and intersectional research and practice in the field. Authors conclude with recommendations for future directions for both the practitioners and researchers alike.
