Sport is a foundational part of who I am and has been a great influence on my academic interests in sport and exercise psychology. As a competitive athlete, it wasn’t until later in my career where I noticed how little I had learned about sport psychology. Whilst being a collegiate athlete and completing my undergraduate degree in psychology, I spent years searching for links between what I was learning in classes and how I could apply them to my sport to enhance both personal and team performances. Therefore, I find my research interests laying within understanding various psychological factors that affect an athlete’s mental and physical performance, alongside identifying how we can best support athlete development through effective, evidence-based interventions.
