This week I’m delighted to speak to Dr Kathryn Johnston and Prof Joe Baker.
Kathryn currently works at the School of Kinesiology and Health Sciences at York University, Canada as a lecturer and postdoctoral fellow. She teaches a business administration in sport course, and a sport psychology course. Kathryn previously worked with student athletes from a developmental and wellness perspective supporting students during difficult transitions.
Joe is the Head of the Lifespan Performance Laboratory in the School of Kinesiology and Health Science, at York University. Joe’s research focuses on optimal human development, largely to understand how someone gets to, and stays at, the highest levels of performance.
Kathryn and Joe have co-authored a paper along with Alexander McAuley and Dr Adam Kelly entitled “Language games and blurry terminology: Can clarity enhance athlete development?” and it’s this fascinating paper that we discuss in this episode.
