Abstract

Taking Kuhn’s idea of a ‘revolution’ seriously, in this final chapter we try to describe what a ‘post-revolutionary’ world of sport and exercise psychology might look like. The chapter focuses on four main features of the research enterprise—the conduct of research; academic journals; scholarly conferences; and research education—and paints a picture of an alternative, philosophically informed way of doing things. The chapter aims to provide researchers, journal editors, conference organisers and teachers with useful and inspiring ideas for the realisation of a progressive future.
