Last week, the FF-TIP Lab welcomed Dr. Hirokazu Arai from Hosei University in Japan. Dr. Arai joined us for our weekly lab meeting to share his research and give a “step-back” presentation on a new project he is undertaking. In this presentation, he discussed how values held by an individual athlete may differ from those of their coaches or the team as whole. Dr. Arai sought input on who should be the target this research and what kind of studies could help address situations in which these values may be misaligned.
At the end of the step-back presentation, the lab members asked questions for clarification and then approached the research question as if it were their own. Over the course of 15 minutes, we generated several potential methods to studying this research question. Both the discussion and presentation were very insightful, and we were very grateful for the opportunity to be involved in Dr. Arai’s research.
We also took some time to celebrate Katie’s birthday! There is never a dull moment with the FF-TIP Lab!
