Dr. Gordon Bloom is a Professor of Sport Psychology at McGill University who has worked with the world\u2019s leading coaches and athletes as both a researcher and sport psychology practitioner for over 20 years. He is currently the director of the McGill Sport Psychology Research Laboratory, where there are currently two inter-related themes of research that have important implications for maximizing the benefits that Canadians accrue through sport participation:<\/p>\n
The majority of research has taken place under theme one, and involves identifying effective knowledge, strategies, and behaviours employed by coaches in terms of leadership practices, mentoring, and team building to develop successful and well-balanced athletes. This research has led to a number of conclusions and applied recommendations that explain what differentiates effective coaches from ineffective ones. Related to this, he has received numerous invitations from academic and sport coaching associations to present his research to scientists, administrators, and coaches at various levels of sport in many different countries. On the second theme, his research program has answered questions pertaining to the psychological and social factors that affect and improve recovery from concussions. For example, the results have identified the serious emotional responses (depression, attempted suicide) and reduced academic performance that athletes with this injury experience. The results of this research highlight the need for practitioners to incorporate social and psychological components for treating concussed athletes, particularly those with long-term symptoms.<\/p>\n
