Nathan Ebersole, an Undergraduate Research Fellow in the Laboratory for Sport Psychology and Performance Excellence (LSPPE), recently presented his research at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) Undergraduate Research Symposium. The annual UWM Undergraduate Research Symposium celebrates the collaborations of UWM undergraduate students with the university’s larger research community. Ebersole’s work examined the effects of mental skills training workshops in the fire service.
