In the second Slice of PIE of 2024, we get the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Martin Turner.
Martin is a very experienced academic, researcher and practitioner – with specific interests in challenge and threat states in athletes, and the use of REBT with athletes.
On the applied side Martin has worked across football, cricket, rugby, cycling, archery, shooting, and equestrian. He also provides performance psychology to business professionals. He’s the Lead Sport Psychologist for England Futsal and his work with athletes has included seasons at Nottingham Forest FC Academy, Nottingham County Cricket Club Academy, Staffordshire County Cricket Club Academy, and Stoke City Football Academy.
We talk about one of his latest papers on the use of REBT with sales professionals (link below) and broaden the conversation into wider REBT tenets.
