Dean is a HCPC registered Sport & Exercise Psychologist. Previously, he completed an undergraduate degree in Psychology at Leeds Beckett University. He then completed an MSc in Sport and Exercise Psychology at Sheffield Hallam University and is now in the last 6 months of his PhD, where he has been developing interventions to reduce athlete perfectionism.
