Stuart Wilson

Dr. Wilson is a SSHRC-funded postdoctoral guest in the School of Kinesiology and Health Studies, working with the Sport Psychology PLAYS Research Group. He holds a Ph.D. in Human Kinetics from the University of Ottawa, an M.Sc. in Kinesiology from York University, and a B.Sc. Hon. in Kinesiology from McMaster University. Overall, his research examines how a better understanding of the psychology of learning can enhance participants’ developmental experiences in sport. Specifically, he explores how personal, social, and contextual factors can make learning (a) more effective, including learning skills, coaching approaches, and interest development; and (b) more sustainable, including resting experiences, team dynamics, and parenting.
