A Biopsychosocial Framework for Sport Science: "A Jack of All Trades Is Oftentimes Better Than a Master of One".

The author recounts a seminal paper by psychiatrist George L. Engel in the journal "Science," outlining "The Need for a New Medical," wherein he proposed a biopsychosocial (BPS) framework for general medicine. Topics include the concept of the BPS model in academic sport science, the challenge for a proposed BPS framework, and suggestion to provide a more effective holistic approach to sport-science research.
