A huge thanks to all involved! @PAHL_Group_UWA @lin_ashleigh @ash_l_thornton @BonzFurzerPhD @ivan_jeftic (as well as my twitter-less colleagues!)

Excited to announce a cool milestone: my first PhD paper has been published in @healthpsychrev! 😀 Our review is on physical activity interventions for the promotion of mental health outcomes in at-risk children and adolescents. You can read it here: doi.org/10.1080/174371…

My first paper of 2024, titled "Parents on the concept of physical literacy: What do they know, what do they do, and what do they want?" has been published in Journal of Sport & Exercise Psychology. Read it ahead of print here: doi.org/10.1123/jsep.2…

Great work @ivan_jeftic and team!

My 2nd publication, and the 2nd of two RCTs investigating online physical literacy PD in educational contexts, has been published open access in Psychology of Sport and Exercise. Feel free to check it out: doi.org/10.1016/j.psyc… A huge thanks to everyone on the team!

@TimothyBudden Slight bend in the knees. Stay ready.

@AaronDSimpson @PAHL_Group_UWA @MHEXUWA Powerful stance.

#NASPSPA2023 done ✅ First conference done ✅ Had a great time in Toronto—thanks to all those involved, and a huge thanks to my supervisors for the ongoing support. @PAHL_Group_UWA @MHEXUWA Looking forward to the next one!

@PAHL_Group_UWA Thanks! I'll look out for potential peers... and the social events.

@AaronDSimpson People often go aiming to “network” with Professor so-and-so… that’s great, some are really generous with their time. But the best times I had were getting to know other grad students—talking at posters, social, etc. Loads of those folks have since become friends & colleagues.

Going to have a crack at using Twitter properly… my first tweet: do any academics out there (at any career stage) have any tips for students attending (and presenting at) a conference for the first time? #NASPSPA2023

Very excited to share my first publication titled "Primary school teacher outcomes from online professional development for physical literacy: A randomised controlled trial" You can read the full article here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1ezRl_XPk0Ve… Hopefully the first of many! 😁
