Joan
Vickers
Joan Vickers, PhD, has taught in public schools, coached at the university and school level, and was a women's athletic director at two universities before making the move into academia. After completing her doctorate in cognitive/educational psychology at the University of British Columbia, she returned to the University of Calgary where she is a professor in the faculty of kinesiology and founding director of the Neuro-Motor Psychology Laboratory. The main focus of her research is to develop new insights into how we can help people acquire and use motor and cognitive skills more effectively. In addition to carrying out research on decision training in sport, she and her team study the eye movements and motor behaviour of athletes and other participants in motor skills. Joan has published more than 60 papers and books on these topics and been invited to speak internationally on many occasions. She has taught at the NCIC since its inception in 1994 and is committed to the development of coaches and athletes in Canada. Decision Training is an integral part of the education of high-level coaches at the national coaching institutes in Calgary, Vancouver, Victoria, and Montreal. Joan has two sons, Robert and James, who are both graduates of the faculty of kinesiology, University of Calgary, and professionals in the field. |
