Guest Lecture Sport Psychology
Thursday 20th November 2008-11-20
Brendan Cropley, an applied sport psychologist, and lecturer at Swansea University, was invited to deliver a guest lecture to our ASC applied sport psychology third year group on professional development, with specific interest in reflective practice. The lecture contributed significantly to the module, with specific input to the case study assignment where the students meet with an elite athlete to discuss the use, knowledge, and application of sport psychology, along with strengths are areas to improve related to their own performance.
Brendan’s lecture was highly informative and provided useful information for the students to absorb and hopefully utilise within their own professional development. Key concepts discussed were professional development in applied sport psychology, evaluation of applied sport psychology practice, and the main concept which was reflective practice.
Student Adam Griffiths said “I felt the lecture was definitely beneficial to second aspect of assignment. Brendan was interactive with the group which was good, and he kept my attention for two hours which is usually a difficult task. Reflective practice was not something I had considered previously but will do from now on, I really enjoyed it”
Gareth and I would personally like to thanks Brendan for his time, enthusiasm, and professional presentation and hopes he will return to us to present again in the future.
