#260 Dr Daniel Fortin-Guichard - What Makes a Great Athlete? Psychological Characteristics of Talented Players
Listen now
Description
I’m delighted to speak with Dr Daniel Fortin-Guichard this week. Daniel works as a Postdoc fellow at the University of Toronto where he specialises in talent identification research through psychological characteristics. Daniel received his PhD from Université Laval in psychology with a specialty in perceptual-cognitive skills in sports. In parallel with his thesis, Daniel worked with the Quebec Remparts hockey team as an advisor to the scouting staff. Each year, Daniel travelled the Province of Quebec and the Maritimes with the scouts to measure the players' psychological and perceptual-cognitive skills. In this episode we discuss a paper that Daniel led which looked at the identification of “sleeping” talent using psychological characteristics.
