I let myself get excited with the prospect of Fantasy World Cup.
Then it reads "Powered by Armaco" 🙄
Amidst all the excitement of the top flight this season, plenty going down to the wire in the Scottish leagues this weekend. Two titles and various relegation spots still to be decided...
So often "professional" or "elite" is seen on the opposite end of a continuum that originates with "fun" or "enjoyment"; these need not serve as polar contrasts. Encouraging to hear about such a strategy as this.

Great to join BBC Radio Scotland to discuss the psychology of refereeing as Hearts close in on a possible title this weekend.
Guess I chose the right time for a haircut 💡
Enjoyed the BBC's More than the Score podcast featuring @richsimpson95.bsky.social. good to have a psychological perspective on fandom in football!
💸 Might allegiances change with ownership?

It may have taken a little longer than buying a new handset, but it is a nice feeling that I could fix my own @fairphone.com after the USB-C port stopped working.
It was a pleasure to contribute to a piece in today's @scotnational.bsky.social.
As a sport and exercise psychologist, I suggested that what matters most for stirring a sense of national identity is how we carry ourselves; even more so than the results.

Terribly sad news about @ktamminen.bsky.social
A great loss to sport and exercise psychology research and practice, grateful for valuable insights into youth sport and coping in particular.
Thoughts with family, friends, and colleagues.
