Melissa Coyle, a new member of staff in SSPEL, has already made an impact in the local sporting arena with sport psychology support. Following on from her applied research at her previous institution, Melissa has had a series of meetings with coaches and players from Plymouth Argyle Youth Team who are keen in using her skills specifically in support of the transition from a youth team professional to a senior professional. Although in the preliminary stages of the applied research she has already attended matches, discussed the role of sport psychology with the players and coaches and been asked to work alongside the coaching staff in the development of the Centre of Excellence at Plymouth Argyle. This is a great opportunity for Melissa to establish herself in her role both at the College and in the local community and will have a major impact on her teaching with the potential for ASC and CPE students to benefit from her applied expertise in the field.
