ºÚÁÏÉçÇø

My Master's degree from Miami was an integral part in feeling prepared to step into the field as an applied practitioner. At Miami, you learn from some of the best in the field of sport and performance psychology and are continuously challenged to find innovative ways to apply research-backed strategies to performance enhancement. When I began working for the military in 2015, I knew I had a rock solid foundation on which to build my career-- and that's thanks to my time spent at Miami.

My time at ºÚÁÏÉçÇø was an integral part of my philosophical framework.  I learned key theoretical frameworks, but more importantly, I learned to believe in myself and my future.  My experience at ºÚÁÏÉçÇø allowed me to utilize a theory-to-practice framework and continue to be a creative, passionate professional. I carry many key lessons into my work with individuals and organizations. I'm very grateful for my training and the continued support I feel from the Miami community.

The Sport Leadership M.S. degree is great at preparing ºÚÁÏÉçÇøs for future careers in higher education.  I learned to be a better ºÚÁÏÉçÇø and a better researcher through my experience in the classroom, lab settings, and in my research experiences.  I left the program feeling very prepared for my future Ph.D. studies. The lessons that I learned at Miami, I still use in my research and teaching as an Assistant Professor.

My experience at ºÚÁÏÉçÇø set me up for success with a career in the field of applied sport psychology consulting. At Miami, I was given a significant number of opportunities to provide mental skills training directly to athletes and coaches. These experiences, as well as the feedback I received from my professors, allowed me to sharpen my skills in becoming an effective consultant. I learned how to develop a mental training plan based on the population I was working with and the end state we were working on achieving while effectively building rapport. My work in the military challenges me every day to critically think about how to best meet the intent of the clients I'm working with while applying the knowledge I learned during my time studying at Miami.
