Summary
Joe is an Associate Professor of Skill Acquisition and Performance Analysis. His primary research interest focusing on using ecological dynamics as a guiding framework to examine sport and exercise. His role includes teaching on a range of degree programmes in Sport and Exercise Science, including modules in Skill Acquisition, Performance Analysis, Research Methods and Psychology. He is also a Postgraduate Research Tutor in Sport and Physical Activity.
About
I completed a BSc (Hons) in Sport and Exercise Science and an MSc in Sport and Exercise Science specialising in Performance Analysis and Biomechanics at Sheffield Hallam University. I was subsequently awarded a PhD scholarship within the Centre for Sport and Exercise Science at Sheffield Hallam in 2011 in which I completed my PhD in 2014 entitled, “Emergent coordination patterns in interceptive actions: The role of different informational constraints".
Following my PhD, I was appointed as a Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Science specialising in Skill Acquisition and Performance Analysis in September 2014. Having worked at SHU since then, I was promoted to Associate Professor in 2023.
My primary research interests focus on using ecological dynamics as a guiding framework to examine sport and exercise. My research was central to a ‘world-leading’ REF Impact case study titled: Improving Elite Coaching and Talent Development through Ecological Dynamics. My research is currently focused on areas such as ‘big data’ in performance analysis, applying ecological dynamics to applied sporting contexts and constraints-based coaching.
I am also the Postgraduate Research Tutor in Sport and Physical Activity which involves leading recruitment, admissions, progress monitoring, examinations and training of students studying for research degrees (MPhil & PhD) in the area of Sport and Physical Activity.
Finally, I teach across a range modules in my specialist area on degrees including BSc Sport and Exercise, MSc Applied Sport and Exercise Science, MSc Sport and Exercise Psychology.
