Dr. Arvinen-Barrow’s doctoral students Jessica Ford, Ken Ildefonso, Derek Zike, and master’s students Becca Beauchemin and Bria Halama presented research at the Spring 2019 Midwest/North Central Regional Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP) conference at Minnesota State-Mankato on March 22 and 23, 2019.

This was a first conference experience for Becca and Bria, and a great learning experience in anticipation of presenting at the Annual AASP conference in October 2019.

In addition to presenting his own original research, Ken was also invited to be part of a keynote panel titled “Navigating the SEP field as a young professional.”
