In response to the ongoing demand for sport psychology services at our Canadian university, a team of graduate students launched the “Students and Athletes Rising Together” (START) initiative to enhance the availabilit…

‘But having someone, kind of, walk you through what to do … ’: Exploring women athletes’ preferences for learning and practicing self-compassion
Women face a variety of challenges as athletes, many of which are rooted in the gendered nature of sport.

Self-Compassion or Self-Criticism? Predicting Women Athletes’ Psychological Flourishing in Sport in Canada
‘That’s how I am dealing with it – that is dealing with it’: Exploring men athletes’ self-compassion through the lens of masculinity
Despite the growing body of literature in the field of athletes’ self-compassion over the past decade, studies with a focus specifically on men athletes are limited. In addition, although previous research suggests that differential representations of masculinities may impact men’s self-compassion uniquely, the link between men athletes’ self-compassion and masculinities is understudied. With masculinity-based negative evaluations being the sourc…
Improvements in self-compassion after an online program for adults with celiac disease: Findings from the Power-C study
Part 1 involved pilot testing two programs for people with celiac disease (self-regulation, SR; or SR plus self-compassion, SR+SC). Results from focus groups revealed participants wanted more and tailored content, and new content bi-weekly versus weekly. In Part 2, we assessed the feasibility of delivering the programs online and the effects of the programs on behavioural and psychological outcomes. All participants reported significant improveme…

Well-developed coping skills are required for athletes to not only reach their performance potential, but also to have healthy sport experiences. The purpose of the present study was to further explore setbacks and coping in sport experienced by a group of high-performance women athletes. Through exploration of their ex…
