25: Psychological skills training with Erin Sanchez SciDance

    • Arts

Erin Sanchez talks about psychological skills training in young dancers. An introduction to her PhD, Erin discusses her main areas of focus and the significance of the different perspectives she is looking at. Erin shares more about how dancers differ from other athletes and how the support they receive may also differ, as well as anecdotally the differences in psychological support between those dancing recreationally and those in vocational training. This episode also looks at the role of the teacher and the student in being aware of, and providing, available support. Finally, we look further into how psychological skills training may play a role in success in the performing arts, but also the importance of this for the wellbeing of dancers as human beings.
