ABSTRACT

At present, the focus of research exploring growth in sport has been narrow, centering on the individual experiencing trauma and most often ignoring the potential for growth in others. This chapter aims to broaden the lens of growth research in sport by examining vicarious growth. In doing this, the chapter outlines how vicarious growth may occur either after indirect exposure to a traumatic or adverse event (e.g., witnessing injury) or by listening to third-person narratives of such events (e.g., as a coach, teammate, or family member supporting an athlete or as an applied sport psychologist). While there are similarities between conceptualizations of growth following personal adversity and vicarious growth, there are also some subtle differences. Thus, this chapter outlines how vicarious growth may be defined, who may be likely to experience vicarious growth, and consequently explores whether any evidence of vicarious growth exists in the current sports literature. At the close of the chapter some of the current research limitations are highlighted alongside recommendations for future research.
