| SSHRC award to study women and girl's soccer |
Posted 08 Jul 2018 We have just been awarded a SSHRC Insight Grant, funded through Sport Canada's Sport Participation Research Initiative (SPRI), to study Longitudinal engagement in female soccer: Analysis of developmental pathways related to success. The aim is to identify factors which contribute to continued participation through adolescence (at various levels of competition). The aim is to better understand the factors which facilitate successful transitions through particular developmental periods of sports participation and how these are related to early sport involvement choices and pathways. |

| Canada Women's Soccer "experience" |
Posted 04 Jan 2018 I recently got to spend some time observing and providing consultancy to the Canadian Women's National Soccer team in their lead up to the USA friendly game in November. This was a great and challenging experience...applying what I write, talk about and research to a high performance sport setting. I'm hoping that this collaboration will continue into 2018. |
