I came across your blog while researching Normalization Process Theory. I was particularly intrigued by your comment about looking at NPT from a different perspective, specifically sports. I was wondering if you’ve pursued that further. I ask because I am involved in a research study looking at an educational intervention designed to minimize/eliminate, concussions in ice hockey. My particular area of interest is how injury and especially injurious behaviour have become normalized in the sport. There are several theories that might explain this (e.g., sport ethos) but they are typically applied to male sports experience and we are seeing injurious behaviour in female sport as well.

I’d appreciate your thoughts on the applicability of NPT to sport.

Thanks in advance and best regards.
