About me
Hi, I'm Hugo, a third year student at the University of Canberra. My undergraduate degree is a bachelor of Science in Advanced Psychological Science (Breadth Major in Counselling Studies)..

My academic interest is in Psychology, applied neuropsychology in sport performance, and practical application of clinical counselling skills in business, professional and personal settings. I enjoy seeing how we can push ourselves to be the best we can be, and develop our potential to smash personal goals.

Football (Soccer)

 * I enjoy watching and playing football/soccer. Recently, watching the women's world cup has been exciting, both in the competition and the rise of women's sport becoming properly recognized is amazing. I also enjoy sport psychology looking at coaching and player mentality, neurocognition in learning skills and application, as well as football data analytics.

Cooking

 * I also enjoy cooking, trying new recipes I find on TikTok or other cooking sites, and see how I go at attempting to make them. Some are good, some are not, but I enjoy trying them nonetheless!

Book chapter I'm working on
Motivation and emotion/Book/2023/Testosterone, winning, and losing

This chapter is focused on testosterones impact and changes when we have a win or a loss, and what that can result in for motivation and emotion. Through preliminary research, this topic is very interesting as many concepts from the first weeks have overlapped in some of the theory (think intrinsic and extrinsic motivation) with some case studies having interesting results. I encourage you to watch the page and learn how winning can boost your testosterone and hormonal levels, and how that can influence your behavior, mood and emotions!.
