Abstract

Reflective practice is well established as a professional necessity and aid for professionals, not least within sport science and medicine. Indeed, given the emergence and growth of system-wide and interdisciplinary teams within sport, it is important for researchers and practitioners to understand how reflective practice can be optimised across such systems to best support the work of interdisciplinary and ensure effective, ethical, and competent practice. In this chapter, we argue that by supporting reflective practice across interdisciplinary teams in sport systems could enable the development of the “reflective system”. To realise these opportunities, we draw on two potential mechanisms – communities of practice and reflective practice groups – as potential foundations for the promoting reflective systems.
