Biography
Ellie is a Lecturer in Sports Coaching at Bournemouth University. Ellie’s research interests take a broad and holistic approach to sports coaching, where she is interested in social and environmental issues. In 2021, she completed a mixed-methods psychology-based PhD. Her research sought to understand adolescent wellbeing from the perspective of children, develop and validate a psychometric measure of wellbeing, and enabled her to understand the role of the outdoors within physical activity intervention programmes. She is the lead collaborator between Bournemouth University and Andrew Simpson Foundation where she has recently supported the launch of their most recent initiative #boatgen.
In her professional practice, Ellie is working towards becoming a UK Coaching licenced tutor. Other professional work includes: the evaluation of the RFUs talent pathway system; consultancy with British Canoe; involvement with CPD events at both Birmingham City FC and QPR community.
Ellie has experience teaching across a range of units at Bournemouth University, including Coach and Athlete Welfare, Applied Sport Psychology, and Conducting Research in Sport and Exercise... Similar to her athlete-centred coaching philosophy, her teaching philosophy is student-centred, inclusive and aims to encourage independent thinking.
