Professor Daniel Madigan

Teaching

My main teaching responsibility lies in the area of Sport and Exercise Psychology. I have designed and delivered modules across all levels of undergraduate study. I supervise students at undergraduate, taught postgraduate, MSc by research, and PhD levels. 

Research

My research focuses on the predictors, consequences, and prevention of burnout in healthcare, sport, and education. I am also interested in perfectionism in achievement contexts. My research has been funded by the World Anti-Doping Agency, British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences, Yorkshire Cancer Research, and the Swedish Research Council.
