JMU Sport Psychology

Thank you, Dr. Mustafa Sarkar, for presenting at our 2026 McMillin Sport Psychology Forum today and teaching us the importance of understanding the role of the environment in developing resilience!

In this interactive presentation, Dr. Sarkar explored the factors that can either facilitate or undermine resilience and discussed the influence of coaches and staff. In small groups, we explored a 2x2 challenge-support matrix and discussed the components of a high challenge-high support environment.
