Résumé :
Because of its performative and transformative benefits, scientific and applied interest around the development of athletes’ creative potential has recently increased. This chapter aims at translating this growing field of research into relevant practices to facilitate the integration of creativity into daily performance environments. Hence, we first clarify how creativity impacts performance enhancement in various sports. Then, building on ecological dynamics principles, we review evidence-informed approaches to foster tactical and movement creativity in training. Moving beyond sport-specific performative outcomes, we also explore the transformative benefits of engaging with creative, embodied activities. Specifically, the influence of moving creatively in various contexts on athletes’ cognitive, affective, social, and cultural changes is evidenced and exemplified. Finally, because coaches and practitioners play a crucial role in the design and establishment of creativity-supportive environments, the “how” of coaching for creativity is discussed. We conclude this chapter with a call for diversified and inclusive practices in sport to expand the landscape of possibilities for all who are passionate about movement.
