Abstract

[This chapter explores the meaning of spirituality, focusing on the research of psychologist Kenneth I. Pargament. The sacred is characterized by the qualities of transcendence, ultimacy, boundlessness, interconnectedness, and spiritual emotions. When the sacred is discovered in sport, there are implications for one’s life. These implications and sacred qualities are examined as they may occur in five locations of hope in sport. This chapter demonstrates that multifaceted hope can be a manifestation of the sacred in sport by showing that sacred qualities and implications of finding the sacred are experienced in the five locations of hope. In short, sport has a spiritual dimension.]
