The British army women’s football team didn’t expect to secure their best ever result at this year’s Inter Services tournament. Their success was partly down to students from Southampton Solent University’s school of health and sport who spent three months offering psychoeducation workshops, sports science testing, sports therapy support, and performance analysis sessions.
“Working with the team has been a unique chance to apply my knowledge of sports psychology in a real-world setting,” Olivia Venditto, one of the BSc (Hons) sport and exercise psychology students involved, says. “It has inspired me to continue pursuing my passion for supporting other athletes.”
