As a result, I got excited about it. I had the choice of doing sports psychology which focuses on performance or diversifying and focusing on skill acquisition which focuses on the principles of learning. I chose to diversify. I like the teaching. I like seeing students develop and improve their level of skill.
Students surprise themselves sometimes and that s exciting to see.
It is busy which can be stressful, and I could do without the meetings. Most people come through a physical education or a psychology program. Some people take a psychology masters but more people take a physical education emphasis. The field is beginning to change though. Like the NHL where there are a lot of people at the bottom and not many at the top.
