My primary research interests lie in the area of youth athletes' positive psychological development, including psychological skills training and behaviour change, and athlete, coach, and parent education. In particular, I am interested in the strategies parents and coaches employ to facilitate youth athletes' positive psychological development and aim to offer useful resources to further enhance these strategies.
