Sport Psychology

I am a professor of sport psychology and licensed sport psychologist with 15 years of experience in sport and performance psychology, both in laboratory and the field. The main professional interest is on promoting performance in high demanding situations, such as when being fatigued, mentally exhausted or under extensive pressure, with applications in sports, medicine, emergency services, and performing arts. Additional work includes motivation to and health-related benefits of sport and exercise at the workplace, and antecedents of work-life balance and well-being. In psychological terminology, my research integrates fields of motivation and self-regulation, choking under pressure, well-being, and health.
