Profile
Biography
I am a lecturer in Sports Performance and Motor Control in the School of Sport Rehabilitation and Exercise Sciences (SRES). I am also Programme Lead for the Sports Performance and Coaching degree. From a research perspective, my interests lie in examining perceptual-cognitive skill in sport. Specifically, the key factors underlying pattern-recognition and anticipation expertise in team-based sports. I am also investigating the research evidence base underlying video assistant refereeing (VAR) in football, and how decisions are made within these time-constrained situations. Prior to my appointment at the University of Essex, I worked within the applied setting for 7 years at Football Radar, and Everton Football Club, respectively. Alongside this, I also partook in several bespoke projects for a range of elite organisations, including FIFA, UEFA, Nike, and the English Premier League.
