Dr. Dithurbide will be discussing her research in trust in technology and in sport groups along with her research in athlete and coach wellbeing. More specifically, Dr. Dithurbide will be presenting on how human-technology interactions may impact skill acquisition, coaching, training, and athlete performance. Further, Dr. Dithurbide will discuss her experiences as a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) and how that has influenced her line of research into athlete and coach wellbeing. This line of inquiry includes research on athlete mental health and wellbeing over the course of the Olympic Games postponement due to the pandemic, coach and staff wellbeing post-Olympic Games, the mental wellbeing of community sport coaches, and looking forward towards research in evaluating the national mental health strategy of national team athletes. Her experience as both a researcher and applied practitioner (CMPC), have mutually influenced her work in both domains. Lastly, Dr. Dithurbide will discuss her experience as a CMPC in collaborating in the support of athletes and coaches with Registered Psychologist and other physical and mental health practitioners.
Dr. Dithurbide's research is focused on the psychosocial aspects of sport and performance. The central themes of her research examine 1) the interactions between humans (athletes and coaches) and technology, both in training and competition; 2) athlete and coach wellbeing; and 3) group dynamics in sport and performance contexts. Results of her research help inform technology users how to best incorporate and interact with technology and its impact on outcomes such as learning, confidence, and performance. Dr. Dithurbide is also Certified Mental Performance Consultant with the Association of Applied Sport Psychology and the Canadian Sport Psychology Association, and holds the High-Performance Certification (Mental Performance) with Sport Scientist Canada. She has supported Canadian athletes over many sports, most recently at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Lori will share her years of experience as both a sport psychology researcher and applied practice as a Certified Mental Performance Consultant.
