Complexity – varied “treatments”
(recall consumer vs. professional
services)
Model of Professionalization
What are the professions related to Sport and PHE?
The Profession Continuum...
Semiprofessions
Autonomy
Degree of control over the client
Degree of control of the organization over the
profession
Teaching, nursing, exercise physiology, social
work, athletic director, coaching, sports
psychologist
Mimic Professions
Professions that have built an image that
exceeds their credibility
Examples?
Deprofessionalization
Forces counteracting an occupation’s drive for the status of a profession
Educational level of clients
Mastery of skills and knowledge by the public
Technology has increased accessibility to knowledge
& skills
Why do we get less respect?
We are considered “leisure time activities”
We do not solve “immediate problems”
Field is not focused around clearly defined
subject matter – multidisciplinary knowledge base
Lack of a unified voice
We do not enjoy professional authority (as defined
by the knowledge differential)
So, is it important to become a “profession”?
The ideals of a “profession” should guide our work
We can exhibit a high degree of professionalism without be classified as a profession
Strengthen these characteristics: Application of skills Advanced education & training Formal testing and admission requirements Professional associations Code of ethics/conduct Sense of responsibility for serving the public
Professional Associations (National/International)

Do YOU Believe?
The PHE profession and its professionals are
authorities in the field?
The profession provides an important service to
society?
The profession should be regulated by its
members?
That you have a sense of calling?
That you have the right to make decisions without
approval of others?
Then....
YOU are well-suited to PHE!!!!
Professionalism and Volunteerism
Blurred boundaries
Professional volunteers
Volunteering professionals
If conflict exists:
Focus on SERVICE and SELF-DEVELOPMENT
Serving Clients – learning, acting, serving
Maintain professionalism without rigidity!
If you are in a PAID leadership role...
Will you distance yourself from your volunteers?Will you be willing to do some of the “dirty
work”?Will you see your volunteers as key assets in
your organization?Will you focus on achieving the goals of the
organization, and involve your volunteers in the process?
Will you offer opportunities to your volunteers to increase their knowledge and skill?
Will you recognize your volunteers?
Image Building
YOU and your profession must convince
society that your services are essential,
exclusive, and complex!
In this way, your profession will gain
recognition and control over its own activities

The CHALLENGE...
Engaging the client to be a co-producer
In other words, getting the client to sweat!
COMPLIANCE is a major challenge for us
What factors contribute to non-compliance?
Key Factors
TimeAccessibilityFitness levelMotivationLeadership
How do you address these?
Pay attention to those you can modify (e.g.
Facilities/leadership)
Offer programs that meet the needs of clients
LISTEN to them!
Why do they seek your services??
Motives.....
Pursuit of pleasure (hedonism)
Pursuit of skill
Pursuit of excellence
Pursuit of health and fitness (extrinsic)
Or any combination of the above...
Could we add “pursuit of affiliation”? (YOUTH)
Chelladurai, 1992
Compliance
Intrinsic vs. extrinsic motives - what is the
difference?
Which motives are more challenging of us to
secure compliance?
EXTRINSIC motives
School gym class
Sports training group
SO....
It is important to determine the primary
purpose for participation in your program to
enhance compliance and better meet the
needs of your clients.
It will be more challenging to motivate clients
in activities in which the rewards are delayed
(extrinsic)
