    Open AccessKathryn Fortnum, Maricarmen Almarcha et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2026

    Introduction: Despite the increase in women's participation in sport, women remain underrepresented in leadership roles across the global sport landscape. In response, governments and sport organisations have developed Women's Leadership Programs (WLPs) to foster women's development in sports leadership. Although these initiatives aim to strengthen women's confidence and leadership capabilities, existing evaluations often focus on programme struc…

  • The Exploration of the Holistic and Complex Impacts of Creative Dance on Creative Potential Enhancement

    Open AccessVeronique Richard, Denver M Y Brown et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Creative Behavior2024

Yet, the potential benefits of incorporating creative embodied activities have been neglected in both applied and research settings. To address this gap, this study examined the effects of a Creative Dance program on university students' creative self‐efficacy, emotional creativity, tolerance to ambiguity, and ideation behaviors. A total of 143 undergraduate students participated, e…

  • Toward a knowledge-synthesis heuristic for sport leaders: The strategic leader synthesis model

    Open AccessJ Cairney, Veronique Richard et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2024References: 4

    Sport management leadership research has predominantly focused on leadership behaviours, particularly transformative leadership, without fully acknowledging the complex, multifaceted nature of leadership within the sports context. This perspective overlooks the reality that sports leaders operate within complex organizations and varied contexts that significantly influence their behaviours. Leadership in sports demands core capabilities in decisi…

  • What Would the Idea Say

    Veronique Richard, Vlad Glăveanu et al.ARTICLEMinnesota Review2023

    Creativity is not linear, but writing about it often is. Creativity is messy; writing about it is not. Creativity lives in the in-between; writing about it points to the space within. Creativity involves movement—it is, in fact, a form of movement—while writing—and reading—about it makes us stand still. Creativity is represented by ideas on the move, messy, nonlinear, embodied, and in-between. And so, if ideas could describe this movement, what w…

  • The Embodied Journey of an Idea: An Exploration of Movement Creativity in Circus Arts

    Open AccessVeronique Richard, Vlad Petre Glăveanu et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Creative Behavior2023

    Knowledge about embodied creativity is in its infancy. In circus arts, performers are nowadays ‘owning’ their creativity making this performance domain fruitful to study embodied creativity. Building on socio‐cultural creativity perspectives and radical embodied cognitive sciences, the current study aimed at exploring movement creativity by tracking the journey of embodied ideas in a Circus School. Specifically, this research questioned how the i…

  • The golden ratio in baseball: The Influence of Historical Eras on Winning Percentages in Major League Baseball

    Open AccessJ Cairney, Stephen Townsend et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2023Cited by: 1References: 16

    IntroductionThe golden section or golden ratio (61.8% or 0.618) is a mathematical phenomenon that appears in art, literature, music and nature with such ubiquity that it is thought to be a fundamental principle of aesthetic organisation. The golden ratio also manifests in sport, particularly as the proportion of wins to losses required to win a Major League Baseball championship. This study extends early work on the golden ratio in baseball by in…

  • Effects of Movement Improvisation and Aerobic Dancing on Motor Creativity and Divergent Thinking

    Open AccessVeronique Richard, Sigal Ben‐Zaken et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Creative Behavior2021

    Creativity is considered to be an embodied concept, where internal psychological and external behavioral processes are intertwined. Creativity enhancement programs often target the cognitive side of this bi‐dimensionality leaving the impact of motor interventions underexplored. To address this gap in the literature, we tested the effectiveness of two motor programs on motor creativity and divergent thinking ( verbal and figural ). A total of 92 c…

  • Factor Structure of Play Creativity: A New Instrument to Assess Movement Creativity

    Veronique Richard, Patrice Aubertin et al.ARTICLECreativity Research Journal2020

    Few assessment tools have been designed to assess motor creativity, and the existing tools have limitations. To bridge this gap, the current study aimed at designing a new movement creativity assessment tool that considers the unique features underlying the expression of creativity through movement. A modified Delphi technique was used to collect experts’ perspective and derive tasks suitable for evaluation of the main features underlying movemen…
