Stress, Anxiety, Resilience, and Thriving (StART)

​​​​​​​We explore stress, anxiety, resilience, and thriving in sport and other domains – such as healthcare, the military, business, and performing arts.

What is StART?


We are a group of academics, practitioners, and students with expertise in stress, anxiety, resilience and thriving in high-pressure domains – like business and medicine. We are interested in how these constructs relate to important outcomes, such as mental health.

Our group discusses and explores research, methods and applied practice in these topics. We also publish work in leading peer-reviewed journals and present internationally.

Our work is funded by bodies such as the NIHR and ESRC. We collaborate with organisations including the UK Sports Institute, EY Lane4, and NHS hospitals.
