Title: How to keep calm and carry on coping
The wide appeal of this talk is that in day-to-day life we all experience stress! This results from the ongoing (and sometimes competing) demands of relationships, work, study, or other interests; and the critical moments of intense pressure they can produce. Throughout this talk Professor Devonport provides practical recommendations for enhanced coping based on research evidence. This is informed by her applied research exploring stress and coping in the contexts of sport and education. Split into three parts, she first examines what stress and coping is, then having illustrated coping interventions, she concludes by highlighting future challenges for coping research and applied work.
Tracey Devonport is Professor of Applied Sport and Exercise Science at the University of Wolverhampton. She has produced over 60 journal publications examining stress, coping and emotion regulation and two edited books. In 2015 she was made a fellow of the British Association of Sport and Exercise Science (BASES) for contributions to the sport sciences and BASES (FBASES). She is also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA). She has over 20 years applied experience as a Sport and Exercise Psychologist; and is a BASES accredited sport scientist and HCPC registered sport and exercise psychologist. Tracey currently leads the Research Centre for Sport, Exercise and Performance.
