Luke Olsson is a Lecturer in Sport Psychology within the School of Sport, Rehabilitation, and Exercise Sciences at the University of Essex. Prior to his appointment, Luke worked at York St John University as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, delivering across the Sport and Exercise Science undergraduate degree with a specific focus on sport psychology and quantitative research methods. Luke's research interest is understanding the personal and social psychological factors that underpin mental health, well-being, and performance in athletes. Within this area, he primarily examines the causes and consequences of being perfectionistic for both the individual and being around someone that is perfectionistic in terms of the influence on athlete performance and burnout. Undertaking this research has allowed him to work with several local and regional sport organisations to help educate coaches, parents and athletes regarding the how perfectionistic pressures may influence athlete experiences.
