Dr. Meyer’s research projects are borne out of the need to identify solutions to the real life concerns of individuals, teams, and organizations. Ongoing research examines: (a) rest and recovery in athletes, sport organizations, and occupational workers; (b) integrated human performance; and (c) applied team science.
In her sport and performance psychology practice, Dr. Meyer uses a systems approach to: (a) enhance the performance of athletes, performing artists, and occupational workers, and; (b) facilitate rehabilitation and return to activity following injury. She has worked with professional and world-class performers around the globe, and currently serves as Lead Sport Psychologist for the Olympic Winter Institute of Australia.
