    The Performance Psychcast - Episode 39 - How Language Shapes Relationships in Professional Sports Teams - Dr Kieran File

    Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of the Performance Psychcast. Today we are very fortunate to be speaking with Dr Kieran File. 

    Kieran's research explores how professional athletes, coaches and managers use language when engaged in team and media communication. His current research focus is on how athletes, coaches and managers build team culture through their communication choices. Kieran also applies his research to help professional athletes, coaches and managers with their communication needs.

    Kieran has written a fascinating book entitled “How Language Shapes Relationships in Professional Sports Teams” which examines the role that coach and athlete language plays in shaping relationships. The book looks at how every day, authentic language patterns used by coaches, captains and players influence these relationships and how they can mediate factors such as power and threat and teamwork.

    The Performance Psychcast - Episode 24 - Focus of Attention

    Welcome to another episode of the Performance Psychcast. Today we are very fortunate to be speaking with Dr Robin Owen. Our podcast episode today is around Focus of Attention and the theories surrounding it. 

    Robin is a lecturer at Liverpool Hope University and is interested in all things motor control and skill acquisition. His research interests include how movement planning and execution are affected by pressure, anxiety, changes in self-control resources, and different attentional foci (i.e., focusing on the body vs focusing on an object/movement effect).
