Reflection 2: Theory, Summary, and Application
How do you address Behavioral Change? Start by looking at Theories….
In general, forcing someone to change is not sustainable. For long term behavior change
to occur, the individual needs to be part of this process. Although we cannot and should
not force people to change, we can and should, observe and make appropriate
suggestions. In order for people to make sustainable behavior changes, various theories
and models are used as strategies. For example, we cannot force a person to loose weight,
but if they come to you asking for advice, as a kinesiologist, you can make educated and
appropriate recommendations. It is important to know your client/athlete so you can
make the appropriate suggestions using the correct theory.
The AthleticDISC Profile (pictured above) is a great example of an assessment used to
bring about behavioral change. As a certified DISC Assessment Analyst I use this
assessment as one of the building blocks when beginning a sport psychology consulting
session. Though there are theories behind it’s use, it is a tool sport psychologists can use
to help bring about behavioral change. It provides the student-athlete with a great view
into their ‘Natural” and “Adapted” styles and how those impact their performance. Here is
an example of a student-athlete’s score:
As a high “SC” this information provides me, as a consultant, ways to motivate this studentathlete in an effort to seek behavioral change towards performance growth. I know from studying
the DISC assessment that a High “S” is very loyal and enjoys serving. A High “C” informs me
that this athlete is also very analytical and likes the systematic approach to things. Combined
with more data and details I could then build a mental performance program for the athlete to
bring about the cognitive change or behavior he or she is seeking. Keep in mind that this is but
just one tool that can be used to assess and bring about behavioral change. As you explore the
topic I encourage you to see what other options are out there that could help your population.
1 identify and briefly summarize a behavioral theory and discuss how that theory would apply
towards your chosen demographic (population) from the CAP assignments. Be sure to elaborate
on how this theory would be utilized with your population and how it may provide you insight
into the intervention you chose to provide in the final CAP.
2. Complete the attached DISC Assessment and answer the questions.

Once you have completed the assessment, total up the columns and come up with a score. Your
high score is your behvaioral style. You may be close or tie in two. For this reflection answer the
following: Do you agree with your results? What are some behaviors listed below that are “You”?
Are there any behaviors that you wish you could change or modify? Why? You are welcome to
explore the DISC more through the web to find aditional information regarding how you scored.
