Most notably, his recent research has focused on the relationship between moral character and leadership behaviour in sport (Psychology of Sport and Exercise, 2017; Sports Medicine, 2017; Qualitative Research in Sport, Exercise and Health, 2015), and athlete’s attitudes towards and use of prohibited forms of performance enhancement (Frontiers in Psychology, 2017). John is a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society (BPS), a member of the Division of Sport and Exercise Psychology (DSEP), and an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA).
