An Inspiring Young Performance Psychologist
Madalyn is passionate about improving performance through psychological practice and research. For her Honours thesis, she examined how fighters use kinematic cues to anticipate their opponent’s next attack. This research contributes to the growing literature on movement perception in competitive and non-competitive settings.
Throughout her time as a competitive athlete, Madalyn has seen firsthand how one’s mental state can impact their performance. She pursued a career in performance psychology because of the strong and growing evidence for psychological flexibility in improving well-being and performance. She is passionate about working with athletes and non-athletes of all ages, arming them with the knowledge and skills to overcome mental barriers and achieve their goals.
