This paper is a great review on what we know about immersive technology (e.g., VR) being a tool for sport officials.

Third, the @SPORT_Lab25's Luisa Pereira Vargas (@MemorialU) also led a scoping review on #sportofficials #stress #anxiety #coping, published in Psychology of Sport and Exercise (@Sciencedirect). This one shows the many unseen stressor officials face.

Second, the @SPORT_Lab25's Luisa Pereira Vargas (@MemorialU) led a scoping review on non-accidental violence (#abuse) directed towards #sportofficials, published in @FrontSportsAL. Bottom line, it's prevalent and comes in many forms.

Continuing on my UK (GB+NI) tour, I attended my first @GAMeS_RG_ conference in London, hosted @WestHam. It was a pleasure to present some of our @SSHRC_CRSH sponsored work on #sportofficials' mental health. Took in a League One and basketball while there!

Continuing my UK tour, it was great to be part of a workshop @covcampus. @DrTomWebb organized the event, focusing on sport officiating research with application to national governing bodies. Amazing to be part of this group!!

My job comes with some great perks, which include being able to make a quick trip to Belfast (@UlsterUni) to visit @KyleParadis and present some of my research. Kyle was an amazing host, showing me the city, taking me to a hockey game, and even getting us a round of golf!

Excited to meet tonight with the @HockeyCanada officials working the #U18Nationals. For the next week, I’ll provide on-site mental performance consulting services to the officials, with the goal of improving their on-ice mental performance. Thanks for the invite @DHanoomansingh
