2020 Sport Psychology Program Newsletter

SPORT PSYCHOLOGY PROGRAM NEWSLETTER

2020

A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

It is exciting to write the welcoming of the inaugural newsletter for the FSU Sport Psychology program. With the help of our dedicated graduate students and faculty, the idea of having a newsletter for our program has now become a reality. The aims of the newsletter are to keep alumni informed about the state of the program, scholarly activities of current faculty and graduate students, and the important work that our alumni are doing. Our hope is that the newsletter will further strengthen the connection among our alumni and between the alumni and our current students and faculty.

I am pleased to say that the FSU Sport Psychology program is growing and flourishing. With four faculty, 19 doctoral students, and 39 master’s students, we have such a diverse and talented group. In 2019, we graduated four doctoral students (Stacey Alvarez, Roy Bedard, Nataniel Boiangin, and Brittany Loney) and eight master’s students. In Fall 2019, we welcomed an impressive cohort of 28 graduate students. As a program, we pride ourselves on being an exemplary scientist-practitioner program. Faculty are actively involved in leading productive research teams as well as providing mental performance consultation to high school, college, and professional athletes as well as corporate clients. Our students have ample opportunities to collaborate with faculty and peers on research leading to publications in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at national and international conferences. We also have a highly structured practicum and supervision process that is developmental in nature and based on supervision theory and research. Students have the opportunity to work within one of our 24 practicum sites (e.g., FSU varsity and club, FAMU varsity, community college, high school, and youth) while receiving weekly supervision consisting of audio and video review of their sessions.

In this first edition of the newsletter, we say farewell to Dr. Gershon Tenenbaum and welcome back Dr. Bob Eklund and Dr. Dave Eccles. In addition, Dr. Nicole Gabana reflects on her time as an Assistant Professor of Sport Psychology, and we spotlight a successful alumnus, Dr. Jasmin C. Hutchinson.

Lastly, we highlight the recent accomplishments of our students and faculty.

On behalf of the FSU Sport Psychology program, we wish you a joyful new year!

Dr. Graig Chow

FAREWELL TO DR. TENENBAUM

As a professor at FSU, Dr. Gershon Tenenbaum has mentored and developed the lives of many students. To them, he is more than a professor. He is a mentor and a friend. His approach to academia, along with his success, is one to be admired. As a researcher, he has worked on over 300 publications. As a presenter, he has spoken at the top sport psychology conferences as a keynote and has been invited to universities around the world to give a lecture. He has been the editor of many books and referred journals, most notably: The Handbook of Sport Psychology (3rd& 4th Edition), Encyclopedia of Sport and Exercise Psychology, The International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology, and The Newsletter of the International Society of Sport Psychology.

During his tenure at FSU, Dr. Tenenbaum has led the charge in developing an innovative sport and exercise psychology laboratory and has acquired grants that contributed to the development of his students, laboratory, and domain of sport psychology. He has also created a research group that still continues to grow and publish in journals and books today.

“Dr. Tenenbaum has not only disseminated his knowledge of Sport Psychology to me, but has also taught me what it takes to work in the domain as a practitioner, researcher, and professor,” said Nataniel Boiangin, a former Ph.D. student, research/laboratory coordinator, and assistant to Dr. Tenenbaum. “I have talked to many students of Dr. Tenenbaum and have seen the type of professionals he has helped develop. I have come to know that academia (and life in general) is complex, relative, and multidimensional. Nevertheless, that does not mean one should not enjoy themselves and the work they do. I am thankful for his mentorship and friendship and hope to instill the values he taught me in my future students.”

Dr. Tenenbaum’s knowledge and expertise are not only seen through his leadership, but also as a professor in the classroom.

The structure of his courses and his mentorship allowed students to develop as competent sport psychology students, thus preparing them for what lies ahead.

Dr. Tenenbaum’s presence will surely be missed at FSU. He has been a friend and mentor to many. We wish him the best of luck in future endeavors and much success.

FAREWELL TO DR. TENENBAUM (CONT.)

QUOTES FROM ALUMNI ABOUT DR. TENENBAUM “I cannot express what a wonderful teacher and mentor Dr. T has been to me. I was already at FSU before he arrived, so I was able to see just how much he brought the program forward to be the leading program it is.

During the time we worked together, T saw more in me than I ever saw in myself. He accepted nothing less than my best work and was there every step of the way to get me there. After I graduated, T remained in my corner, encouraging me to publish and advance my career. He is both a friend and a mentor, I would never be where I am today without my beloved T!” - Jasmin Hutchinson (’04), Associate Professor, Springfield College “I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor during my graduate training. I will always be grateful for my time at FSU, and the years I spent learning from T. I hope that one day I can have the same impact on my students as he had on me.” - Billy Land (’10), Assistant Professor, University of Texas at San Antonio “Gershon is a model of excellence in all fronts. I learned how to think critically from him. I loved his open door policy and I knew I could count on him at any time. He has impacted so many people and is a force for good in this world.” - Edson Filho (‘12), Lecturer, University of Central Lancashire

DR. GABANA’S REFLECTIONS AS AN ASSISTANT PROFESSOR

Hello FSU Alumni! My name is Nicole and I’m in my third year as an Assistant Professor in the Sport Psychology program. As a faculty member, I’d like to share a little bit about my experience at FSU thus far, and a few things I am grateful for: 1. The Students. One of the best things about my job is the hardworking, intelligent, and kind students whom I get to work with, teach, and supervise on a daily basis. As a faculty member, I feel truly blessed to have such a diverse group of master’s and doctoral students who excel at juggling the rigorous demands of coursework, applied practicum, independent research, scholarly engagement, teaching, and other service activities.

2. Teaching. As a scientist-practitioner-educator, I have had the opportunities to build relationships in the classroom, in the lab, and on the field. Since joining the faculty team at FSU, I have had the privilege of teaching our Intro to Sport Psychology course in the fall, which has allowed me to get to know our first-year master’s students from their first day of class. I love learning about the diverse interests and backgrounds of our students, and it inspires me to see their eagerness to learn about the field. I also co-teach our Field Lab Internship course for our students working as consultantsin-training in one of our 24 Applied Sport Psychology practicum sites. As a supervisor, I value the opportunity to assist students in their development as sport psychology practitioners. Many of them are working toward becoming a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC), and I enjoy playing an active role in helping them reach this goal. One of the highlights of my first year was having the chance to develop an upper-level seminar on Mental Health and Performance, in order to increase our students’ knowledge and awareness of mental health issues in athletes. In this seminar, they learned about how to assess and make appropriate referrals for mental healthcare, which is an essential skill set for mental performance consultants. Working so closely with athletes, we have the unique opportunity to be an advocate for mental health by reducing the stigma of seeking help.

3. Science-Based Practice. My research is applied in nature, and on the integration of positive psychology and sport. Recently, I have been examining the impact of gratitude interventions on athlete well-being, resilience, and interpersonal variables such as team cohesion, coach-athlete relationships, and social support. Coming into a program where our Director, Dr. Graig Chow, has established and maintained such strong relationships with coaches, athletes, and teams in the Tallahassee community enabled me to hit the ground running, implementing theory-driven interventions with student-athletes. Last year I piloted The Athlete Gratitude Group (TAGG), an evidence-based program geared toward enhancing athlete mental health and performance through cultivating a grateful mindset in sport and life.

4. YOU. Even though I am not an alumna of Florida State, I feel so grateful to be part of the FSU community network as a current faculty member. Meeting alumni at conferences and in the field has opened my eyes to the far-reaching nature of FSU Sport Psychology. I value that network, and I am honored to now be a part of it.

I wish you all the best in your personal and professional endeavors, and I hope this inspires you to reflect upon the impact the FSU Sport Psychology Program has had on YOU, both during the program and beyond your time in Tallahassee. Go Noles!

WELCOME BACK TO DRS. ECCLES & EKLUND

Dr. Bob Eklund

Dr. David Eccles

What made you come back to Florida State University?

Dr. Bob Eklund (BE): This is a complex question. Certainly, the genesis of my return was grounded in being contacted about my interest in becoming an Associate Dean in the College of Education to replace Prof.

Jim Sampson upon his retirement; another EPLS faculty member whom I knew well from my time at FSU. It presented the opening of a door to advance my career in a new direction that came with new responsibilities and opportunities that were quite interesting. It wasn’t the sort of opportunity that would have been inherently interesting if it had not been at Florida State University, however. My strong and positive memories of the collegiality of colleagues at FSU, the reputation of the institution, and my respect for Dean Driscoll and the possibility of being ushered into the Associate Dean role under her guidance were also very important. I think it is fair to say that an Associate Dean position anywhere else would very likely have held much less interest for me. Finally, I knew that returning to FSU would also afford the possibility of involvement in a very strong program; one that I had proudly helped to build in working with Gershon Tenenbaum and David Eccles. Overall, the combination made the opportunity too good to pass up!

Dr. David Eccles (DE): The chance to work with smaller numbers of highly capable graduate-level students was a big pull (I taught large numbers of undergraduate students in the UK, which is where I was before returning here). But also important was the positive collegial environment at FSU! What were you doing professionally during your time away from FSU? BE: I was working in the School of Sport at the University of Stirling in Scotland. My responsibilities were typical of any professorial position; I taught classes and supervised MSc and Ph.D. students, conducted research, and provided service to the University and the Profession. My students were primarily Scottish in nationality, and the cultural differences were fascinating. Christine Habeeb, one of my master’s students at FSU, went to Scotland with me to study for her Ph.D.—she’s now an Assistant Professor at East Carolina University. Doctoral study is quite a bit different in the UK and Australia (where I’ve also worked) and other countries around the world. There is no doctoral level coursework but instead that the doctoral student will develop a program of research that results in typically 4-6 publishable studies. A thesis reporting on those studies is then developed for evaluation and defense by external and internal examiners regarded as top experts of renown in areas related to the topical focus of the thesis. Success in the granting of the degree hinges entirely upon the adequacy of the thesis document and the defense of its substance by the candidate.

There are strengths and weaknesses to that process, but it is fair to say that the availability and requirement (continued on next page)

WELCOME BACK TO DRS. ECCLES & EKLUND (CONT.)

to take courses in substantive areas relevant to a student’s research program, as occurs at FSU, certainly removes some impediments for student progression toward their Ph.D. I think all of the doctoral students at FSU should be very glad for their availability here.

DE: I was Professor of Sport at Durham University in the UK, which is situated in the amazing medieval city of Durham in the north-east of England. George Washington’s family came from the nearby village of, yes, Washington!

Are there any program highlights or updates you believe alumni should know about?

BE: From what I’ve heard and experienced, the possibility exists that social media has served to ensure that many, if not most, of our sport psychology alumni are as up-to-date with program highlights as anyone— perhaps including current students and faculty members?! For example, it was essentially impossible for me not to be aware of happenings in FSU Sport Psychology during my time in Scotland—and I don’t’ even really pay any attention to social media! I can’t help but wonder if I’m more behind being physically in Tallahassee than when I was while being in Scotland to tell you the truth. The world has certainly changed since I first arrived at FSU in January of 2005. Nonetheless, after reviewing Ph.D. applications and sitting through the related discussions, perhaps I can provide a tidbit of news that will outpace our social media outlets—the students who arrived in Fall 2019 are outstanding, and uniformly and impressively so. It is indeed bracing to find that the long line of outstanding students at FSU will once again be replenished in the coming year.

I am very much looking forward to working with all of our students, and of course coming to know our new students as well.

Where would you like to see the program move towards over the coming year and beyond?

DE: Simply, in my opinion, our aim is to maintain our nearly 50-year global reputation for excellence in the science, practice, and education of sport psychology.

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT

Q&A with Dr. Jasmin C. Hutchinson (Ph.D. ‘04)

What is your current position/job?

Associate Professor of Exercise Science, and Program Director for Graduate Studies in Sport and Exercise Psychology, Springfield College What advice would you give current students in the Sport Psychology program at FSU? Get as involved as possible, both academically and socially. Take advantage of every opportunity you can!

What is one thing you wish you knew/did when you were a student in the Sport Psychology program at FSU? Honestly, I can’t think of anything I would do differently, so I guess as cliché as it sounds, I wish I knew how quickly it would pass. It feels like a long time while you are in the program, but in retrospect, it flew by!

What was your favorite thing to do in Tallahassee?

I enjoyed playing intramural sports, visiting Ginny Springs, and, of course, grabbing a beer at Poor Paul’s Poorhouse :) What is something you learned at FSU that helped you in your current success?

The importance of relationships and networking. I would not have survived multivariate statistics without my peers (Alex Cohen!). Even after graduation, the FSU network is strong, and it’s great to get together at various conferences.
