"The Illusion of Sport"

Dr. Natascha Wesch obtained her PhD in Sport Psychology from the University of Western Ontario and completed a post-doctorate fellowship in Health and Rehabilitation Psychology at McMaster University. She holds a Masters degree in Exercise Physiology/Biochemistry from Western and an undergraduate degree in Exercise Science from Concordia University. Natascha is a member of the Canadian Sport Psychology Association and is a service provider for the Canadian Sports Centre. Natascha is a Performance Psychology Consultant who works with athletes and coaches of all sport backgrounds, ages, and experience levels. Natascha's unique approach to consulting combines the practical and theoretical aspects of sport performance, which allows her to understand the athlete and coach perspective and the high demands of sport. In her practice, Natascha uses mental skills training techniques and sport psychology methods to propel further athletic performances beyond those that can be achieved through physical and technical training alone. This talk will explore the use of imagery and visualisation in performance (from sports to arts and everything in between).
