Division of Sport and Exercise Psychology Workshop and AGM
Psychological Legacies: Podium, Performance and Participation
Tuesday 16th December 2014 at BPS Offices, Tabernacle Street, London
A “Legacy” is simply defined as, ‘something that is left behind’ and could be considered at a myriad of levels, including societal, organisational, client-centred, or personal. This workshop brings together a series of diverse sessions shining the spotlight across and beyond the spectrum of sport and exercise, from podium, to business performance and physical activity participation. These diverse sessions are intended to appeal to a wide range of members of the Division of Sport and Exercise Psychology. With each session representing a unique perspective on practice, delegates will be encouraged to reflect on both explicit and implicit legacies and to translate reflections to their own practice where applicable.
The aim of the workshop is to present a series of sessions that collectively examine applications of sport psychology from performance to participation.
Who is the course intended for?
This DSEP-subsidised workshop is intended for any member of the Division of Sport and Exercise Psychology, with a particular emphasis on Stage 2 candidates.
Bookings closed at 17.00 on Friday 12th December.
