In this epilogue to the Special Issue of Journal of Applied Sport Psychology on sport injury psychology, we consider how the five papers presented within have advanced this field of research in three meaningful ways: (a) moving beyond models (theoretical diversification); (b) working “with” rather than “on” participants (research diversification); and (c) moving beyond the “usual suspects” (applied diversification). We hope the next wave of research on sport injury psychology builds upon these studies to keep pushing the boundaries of our understanding of sport injury.

Lay summary: In this epilogue to the Special Issue, we consider how the papers presented within extend our understanding of sport injury and push the boundaries of the field of sport injury psychology. A shift toward more diverse scholarship to extend theory, research, and practice is encouraged.
