Chris joined Leeds Trinity University in 2015 as the programme leader for the BSc (Hons) Sport Psychology Degree, in addition to teaching across a number of sport related modules.

Chris is an interpretivist researcher whose work primarily looks at the everyday realities of sport psychology practice within high-performance sporting contexts. In addition to this, Chris’ research also considers how literature from outside of the psychology domain (e.g. sports coaching, education, and sociology) can help underpin practice and pedagogy within the sport psychology profession. At present, Chris’ work currently includes collaborative projects with Prof. David Gilbourne (independent researcher), Dr. Lee Nelson (Edge Hill University), Prof. Paul Potrac (Northumbria University) and Prof. Zoe Knowles (Liverpool John Moores University). Chris is also lead supervisor for two PhD projects and a Masters by Research project, as well as serving as a reviewer for a performance psychology journal.
