Forskning om mental styrka

Virginie Lemaire forskar på University of Teesside i Middlesborough om funktionshindrade idrottares behov av mental coaching. Hon vill att du deltar - oavsett om du är funktionshindrad eller idrottar.

Hello,

I am a French researcher doing a PhD in Sport Psychology at the University of Teesside.
The aim of my research is to establish whether disabled sportsmen/women have specific needs in terms of mental coaching as well as finding appropriate means to actually improve their performances by increasing their mental skills.

I also believe that the potential impact of my research goes beyond sporting performance. It could help the whole disabled community to maximize their potential and show to that they can perform as well as most able-bodied people.
Mental toughness is also important in daily life, and the development of a specific method to improve it could be important for every disabled people (ex: learn how to cope with stress, increase self-esteem and self-confidence, and take difficulties like challenges...).

You can obtain more details about this research in the "Aim" and "Interest" parts and you can participate by filling in the questionnaire at this address:

Your help is very valuable and the views of every participant are important.
Everybody (disabled or otherwise, sporting people or otherwise) can take part in this project.
Questionnaires are automatically adapted to your type of disability (Learning difficulty, Visually impaired...).
So, please help this project by telling all your contacts about the study and by sending them this e-mail.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me to this address:

Thank you very much for your support and I hope to hearing from you soon.

Regards,

Virginie Lemaire
