TEACHING

Interpersonal Skills SPL 122

Aims

Communicating and interacting with others is a natural occurrence in everyday life. In both psychology and sport and exercise psychology these skills are essential and require person to person interaction and development of sound working relationships. The aim of this module is to provide a basis to explore the nature of communication and interpersonal skills.

Psychology of Training and Competition SPL 227

Aims

One of the fundamental concerns of sports psychologists and coaches is enabling an athlete to perform to their potential when training and competing. In order to do this sport scientists and coaches must understand the psychological pressures that are inherent in training and competition and the potential consequences of these pressures. This module will seek to develop the student鈥檚 understanding of the psychological demands of training and performance and seek to explore ways in which these demands can be managed, regulated and controlled.

Psychology of Injury and Rehabilitation STL 302

Aims:

This module aims to enable students to explore the social and psychological factors in injury risk, theories of psychological reactions and responses of sports participants to injury, and psychological factors that impact on recovery from injury and adherence to rehabilitation programmes. It will critically evaluate theory and research, and consider practical approaches to working with athletes to assist them with their response to and rehabilitation from injury experiences.
