Mr Liam Hardman
Overview
After completing my undergraduate degree in Sport and Exercise Science at Liverpool Hope University, I have recently started my current position as a PhD researcher at Bangor University, working with a supervisory team consisting of Dr Vicky Gottwald, Dr Germano Gallicchio (Bangor University) and Dr Robin Owen (Liverpool Hope University).
Research
I am currently working on a project titled "Language Matters: A comprehensive analysis of attentional focus for proprioception and target aiming". Within this project, I will be using both qualitative and quantitative research designs to explore attentional focus in a broader context than it's traditional interpretation.
Other
I have also worked within an applied sport setting. Coming from a competitive background in amateur boxing, I have earned my Level 2 England Boxing coaching certificate through Kingsway Boxing Club. I have also worked within various other Boxing and MMA clubs, depending on where I'm situated. I have also qualified as a Level 4 Strength & Conditioning coach.
