This lecture will be delivered by Dr Jamie Barker, Senior Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Psychology, and Dr Craig White, Economic and Social Research Council Fellow, in the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences at Loughborough University.

In this talk, Dr Jamie Barker and Dr Craig White will discuss their work within the fields of the military and sport using interventions to enhance leadership, resilience, and performance. Exploring the concepts of resilience and social identity leadership, they will look at how interventions based around these themes have been utilised to promote a sense of togetherness within military and sporting teams, as well as to enhance the mental wellbeing of veterans.
