Episode 61: Dr Tom Mitchell

Episode

Hello!

In this episode I’m talking to Dr Tom Mitchell, who had his viva in February this year. Tom’s research is in sport psychology, and he looked at the concept of identity in English professional football. He did his PhD part time at Liverpool John Moores University, and is now a Senior Lecturer in Sport Coaching at Leeds Beckett University.

Get in touch if you’d like to join me on a future episode, it’s always great to hear from people who want to share their PhD and viva experiences. If you have any questions or ideas then email me, tweet at me or comment on this post. And check out my ebooks and books on viva preparation, like The Viva Prep Handbook which came out last month!

Thanks for reading!

Episode 47: Dr David Alder

Episode

In this episode I’m talking with Dr David Alder, who completed his PhD at Liverpool John Moores University in 2014, and who is now a Senior Lecturer in Sport Coaching at Leeds Beckett. Dave’s fascinating research looked at the effects of anxiety on the performance and training of elite badminton players and how they make decisions. It was great to hear chat to Dave, hear about his research, and how he prepared for his viva while starting a job in Edinburgh.
