Body & Mind: Two UWM Experts Share Insights Into Sports Psychology

Jon Strelecki
Tom Luljak and guests

How many times have you watched an athlete make an amazing play or turn in an unbelievable performance and ask yourself “How in the world do they do that?”

Is it because the athlete is in superb condition or has practiced the routine over and over again? Or is it because of what’s going on in the mind of that athlete?

On this edition of UWM Today, we’re going to get some answers to those questions as we discuss sports psychology with two experts from UWM’s College of Health Sciences. Joining us in the studio is Barbara Meyer, professor of kinesiology, and Monna Arvinen-Barrow, an assistant professor of kinesiology.

Tom Luljak hosted UWM Today on WUWM for more than two decades and is the inaugural host of Curious Campus.
