Social Media, Ethics, and Sport

Social media has been a well-studied phenomenon in various realms, including sport. Athletes from community to Olympic realms have leverage social media platforms to raise awareness, promote their brand, and share their experiences; however, within sport, the impact of social media upon athletes and their performance has garnered little attention.

Elyse Gorrell PhD has found that social media has myriad impacts on athletes psychologically, physically, and socio emotionally. She is a current athlete in the sport of Karate, and Mental Performance Consultant. Her research involves how social media affects athletes and coaches and through this project she aims to assist coaches and athletes in utilizing social media strategies to benefit their well-being and performance outcomes. In this webinar, Dr. Jen Walinga hosting a special episode of Sport, Leadership and Social Change as part of our Communication and Ethics Conference and will speak with Elyse about the shifting landscape of sport as athletes wrestle with the ethics of new media.
