Jordan Lefebvre

Dr Jordan Lefebvre received PhD in sport psychology from McGill University in Montreal, Canada. As a postdoctoral researcher with HMNS, he leads a project in collaboration with the Queensland Academy of Sport, Australian Institute of Sport, Athletics Australia, and Basketball Australia that seeks to better understand the process of representing your country as a coach at international events (e.g., Olympic and Paralympic Games). This includes investigating the unique roles and responsibilities in this context, the learning processes involved in learning to coach at international events, and the factors that influence the effectiveness and performance of coaches at these events. Previously, Jordan led a project in collaboration with the Australian Institute of Sport that sought to develop, implement, and evaluate a coach development initiative designed to educate elite coaches about effective coaching behaviours in high-pressure situations. In addition to his research and teaching in sport psychology, Jordan is certified as a mental performance consultant with the Canadian Sport Psychology Association and is experienced in working with elite athletes, coaches, and sport organizations.
