Visiting Assistant Professor Jordan Goffena from the Department of Sport Leadership and Management (SLAM) and Ann MacKenzie, associate professor in the Department of Teaching, Curriculum, and Educational Inquiry (TCE), recently presented their interdisciplinary research at the Association of Applied Sport Psychology annual conference in Montréal, Canada.

Their presentation, “Applied Sport Psychology Pedagogy: A Critical Reflection on the Role of Instructional Effectiveness in Psychoeducation,” explored how pedagogical sciences support the teaching and coaching of athletes through both physical and mental skills training.

Sarah Sommer, a SLAM student who completed an Undergraduate Associates role with Dr. Goffena in spring 2024, also contributed to the research.
