Daniel Gucciardi

I am an Associate Professor in the School of Physiotherapy and Exercise Science. I grew up with sport and outdoor activities in Perth, Australia - playing Aussie Rules football (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...) during the winter months and enjoying the water lifestyle during the summer months (e.g., wakeboarding). Along the way I developed an interest in the psychological aspects of sport and exercise, having seen firsthand the importance of psychology for performance but also fostering positive outcomes for young people (e.g., well being, social inclusion). Now I "work" as a teacher and researcher who explores the intersection of psychology with sport and exercise in areas such as (anti)doping in sport, resilience, and life skills development. You can follow me on Twitter (@DanielGucciardi) for updates on my work in this space.
