Forskningsprofil

I am a passionate applied researcher in sport and exercise psychology. My academic background is international as I have worked and studied the University of Copenhagen, Queens University (Canada) and at Aalborg University. My research focuses in particular on applied interventions with goal setting, playful among various groups, and descriptive studies on succesful communities and age groups that enhance participation, development and at times performance in sport. 

At the moment, I'm especially interested in action (design) research studies that utilies co-creation / co-production in materialising playful material to  Currently, I've recently lead a project (Happy Play) which co-produced playful coaching material for 500 coaches in 85 clubs in Happy league funded by Vissing Fonden. In addition, I am also Head of Psychology in a local elite football academy, where I have co-produced hiw and when to work with mental strategies and issues together with the coaches and players.

I've been an engaged supervisor of BA and MA-students for almost 10 years and find great joy in seeing students’ progress. I am a regular editor and member of the editorial board of the Forum for Idræt.
