I am a pragmatic researcher interested in multiple areas of applied sport psychology. My research to date has predominantly focused on exploring the psychology of taper, psychological factors associated with fatigue-recovery states, and the use of heart-rate variability biofeedback to prepare athletes to compete effectively. Alongside these specific interests, I am also more broadly interested in the interaction between psychology and physiology and how specific athletic contexts influence experience (e.g., taper, warm-ups, etc).
