Biography
Dr. Rathwell's program of research focuses on three main areas. First, Dr. Rathwell is interested in assessing the personal and psychosocial development of university athletes, with a particular focus on the role of coaches in facilitating development. Second, he also conducts research on the psychosocial factors (including coaching) related to lifelong sport and the mechanisms through which masters athletes are able to maintain their elite performance. Finally, Dr. Rathwell recently began studying how psychological factors influence athletes' return to play following a concussion.
