Reframing the Role of the Personal Trainer.

I am studying the effects of motivation and engagement in exercise, particularly in a Gym environment, with a particular interest in how they affect emotional health and wellbeing.

I have done some earlier work on this study while coaching sport in a school. The pupils were going through tremendous changes in their lives (adolescence), and I thought that if I studied what motivated and engaged them through sport, I could be in a better position to help them-emotionally. After all, what I observed was that many of their decisions were made emotionally. Rather than trying to control their emotions, I thought that their emotions could be put to better use, especially in regards to decision-making.
