Niamh-Elizabeth Reilly

I obtained a BSc (hons) in Psychology from Loughborough University, an MSc in Sport and Exercise Psychology from Bangor University, and I am currently a Doctoral Researcher. My research aims to identify new techniques for training people with a learning disability to develop movement skills and to educate those who deliver this training. Other research interests include the effects of anxiety on motor production and the use of skill acquisition techniques to eliminate choking, imagery use and training, coaching and athlete development. I am passionate about disability sport and its development and I work with Mencap Cymru to develop sport and leisure strategies. I also have a keen interest in applied sport psychology and have a great deal of experience working with Athletics at grass roots, national and international levels, as well as Football, Hockey, Golf and Gaelic Football.
