Sports Psychology & Performance – Applying Theory in Coaching Scenarios with Joseph Skeet & Lois Millican from University of East Anglia
January 29 @ 12:45 - 13:30
In this Sports Psychology session, we will be joined by Joseph Skeet & Lois Millican from University of East Anglia who will lead an interactive scenario-based workshop on Sports Psychology & Performance – Applying Theory in Coaching Scenarios.
This interactive workshop explores how sports psychology theory translates into everyday coaching practice. We will examine common coaching behaviours—both positive and negative—and how they shape team culture, athlete wellbeing, and overall performance.
Through discussion and examples, participants will gain insight into the characteristics of high-performing teams and the psychological environments that allow them to thrive.
The session will include a scenario-based task, encouraging active participation and practical application of concepts to realistic coaching situations.
Our events are designed so that a group of students can take part from a classroom or students and teachers can take part as individuals, either from school or from home. There is no charge to take part.
As a live, participative event, this session will not be recorded but slides and other resources will be shared after the event, where available.
Suitable for: Aged 16+ pre-university students studying, or with a possible interest in studying, Sports Science, Psychology and related disciplines. Student groups as well as students and teachers joining individually are very welcome.
Preparation/Pre-Reading: Students may wish to consider the topic in advance and questions they have. Students can also think about questions about studying at university level.
