Lessons learned from the seasoned practitioner: A case study of an Irish elite amateur golfer

This chapter presents a case of supervision in applied sport psychology, which occurred in an observably multicultural environment. Miville et al. proposed that the supervisory working alliance is essential for multicultural supervision, which requires an agreement on supervisory goals, supervisory tasks, and role clarity. When engaging in multicultural supervision in applied sport psychology, it may be important to critically engage in the purpose of one’s practice and who and what benefits from the dominant hegemonic practices of sport and exercise psychology (SEP). The chapter focuses on various aspects of multicultural supervision, including the use of reflects in supervision, the hegemonic practices of SEP, and the importance of adopting a cultural lens. Both clinical and sport psychology professionals have suggested guidelines for best practices in supervision. Considering the challenges and complexities of multicultural supervision, the author believe all types of critical reflections can and should be an integral part of supervision.
