Dr Jack Brimmell

Lecturer in Psychology

Jack obtained his PhD from York St John University and examined attentional control and perceptual-cognition in sportspeople. The PhD also focused on the role of anxiety, stress, and pressure upon attentional control. Jack holds an MSc in sport psychology and a BSc (1st class with Hons) in sport and exercise science from the University of Gloucestershire.

Jack has previously worked with elite sporting organisations (i.e., RFU and professional Women’s football teams) to try and use sport psychology to enhance performance. Jack is published in a number of top level sport psychology journals and is also reviewing work for these journals.

Jack is predominately interested in how feelings of anxiety and stress can disrupt attentional control and perceptual-cognition during pressurised sport performance. More long term, Jack hopes to build evidence-based resources that will allow individuals at all levels of performance maintain or improve performance under pressure. Alongside this Jack is interested in: statistics, psychometrics, executive function, visual attention, and research method and methodology.
