With more to come!

[Professor Hancock @ProfHancockMUN]

Updated the @SPORT_Lab25 board today. Great work by all who have been involved thus far. Looking forward to continue to add things over the next year.

Continuing on my UK (GB+NI) tour, I attended my first @GAMeS_RG_ conference in London, hosted @WestHam. It was a pleasure to present some of our @SSHRC_CRSH sponsored work on #sportofficials' mental health. Took in a League One and basketball while there!

Continuing my UK tour, it was great to be part of a workshop @covcampus. @DrTomWebb organized the event, focusing on sport officiating research with application to national governing bodies. Amazing to be part of this group!!

[Professor Hancock @ProfHancockMUN]

My job comes with some great perks, which include being able to make a quick trip to Belfast (@UlsterUni) to visit @KyleParadis and present some of my research. Kyle was an amazing host, showing me the city, taking me to a hockey game, and even getting us a round of golf!

Excited to meet tonight with the @HockeyCanada officials working the #U18Nationals. For the next week, I’ll provide on-site mental performance consulting services to the officials, with the goal of improving their on-ice mental performance. Thanks for the invite @DHanoomansingh

#SPORT Lab had a great experience @_SCAPPS 2025. Lots of highlights to come from an exciting 3 day conference

[Professor Hancock @ProfHancockMUN]

The #SPORT lab has arrived @_SCAPPS PEI! I’m guessing we’ll be the only attendees to travel through all 4 Atlantic provinces in one day.
