Emily Pelletier is an applied performance psychologist working at the intersection of elite sport, talent development, and performance enhancement. She supports athletes with mental skills-attention control, arousal regulation, and coping under pressure-while evaluating psychological readiness for competition. Emily collaborates with multidisciplinary teams (coaches, physiologists, medical staff) to create holistic performance plans. She supervises applied placements where trainees deliver interventions in real-world sporting environments. Emily's publications focus on translating laboratory findings into brief, practical interventions for busy athletes. Her active research looks at team cohesion and clutch performance in high-stakes matches.
