This year I have had the privilege to complete my SWL hours with Matt and the performance well-being team at SCSA. I am passionate about sports psychology and wellbeing so when this opportunity arose, I was beyond grateful and excited. Through this experience I have learnt about possible pathways into psychology, connected with people in the sports psych field around Australia and worked alongside private practitioners.

Due to these opportunities, I have developed my interest in the sports psychology field and gained valuable knowledge. In the future, I aim to study a bachelor’s degree in psychology, in hopes of pursuing a career in sports psychology or criminology.

Within the wellbeing team, I get to work alongside like-minded people and experts in the field of mental health and wellbeing, helping broaden my knowledge. I have had the opportunity to complete my mental health first aid course, implement strategies and exercises in our classes and are currently working towards planning events and games for upcoming dates like Wear It Purple day.
