In addition to sport and exercise psychology, Lisa has experience lecturing in topics such as motivation and emotion, behaviour change, communication and counselling skills, group facilitation, and behavioural health. Her PhD research focused on exploring the self-identity characteristics of elite athletes and the impact of transitional events, such as retirement from sport, upon how athletes view themselves, and upon what they consider to be important in their lives.
