Research Interests
My research efforts focus on identifying ways in which parents and coaches behave at youth sport events, and understanding how these behaviors influence health and performance outcomes in children. I am also involved in international sport outreach efforts that focus on helping coaches transition from a narrow focus on talent-development and strategy-implementation, to a more comprehensive vision of coaching, which emphasizes personal growth and community development.
