What has Covid-19 Revealed about the Meaning of Sport in Our Lives (Pt2)? Dr Mark Nesti - Meaningful Sport Series

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought uncertainty concerning the future of sports, but also led some of us to reflect more deeply on the meaning of sport in our lives. In the second part of the discussion with Dr Mark Nesti, we explore applied sport psychology with athletes during the pandemic, the value of an existential approach for psychology in sport, and the meaning of sport in Mark's own life. Dr Mark Nesti has pioneered the application of existential psychology in sport. He recently stepped down as Reader in sport psychology at Liverpool John Moores University and is now working as a British Psychological Society Chartered sports psychologist with the first team players and staff at Yorkshire County Cricket club and Aston Villa. Mark has written extensively on existential psychology, spirituality in sport, and applied work with elite and professional athletes.
