Strategies for Using Pop Culture in Sport Psychology and Coaching Education
Karen Collins 

Abstract: The use of pop culture as a tool for learning and instruction is paramount. Therefore, it is imperative for teachers to be aware of, and incorporate, trends that are popular and reflect the student experience. This article addresses the pop culture trends that can positively affect teaching, coaching education, and sport psychology practice. Specifically, three different constructs—technology, television and movies, and athletic fashion trends—are discussed. Within each category, a number of examples are provided.
