次回の学会は、来年2020年の北アメリカスポーツ心理・身体活動学会(North American Society for Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity)で学会発表をする予定です。応用スポーツ心理学・メンタルトレーニングではなく、ザ・研究のようなスポーツ心理学と運動学習および制御の学会に興味のある方は、こちらの学会を好むでしょう。

Hi all,
I revised Japanese versions a lot (above), so this below is not something I wrote above 🙁
I wrote above as “my writing information gift” for Japanese viewers but below I simply talked about my experience which I believe is kinda boring… 🙁
During this academic year, I was able to present at two difference conference related to sport and exercise psychology conference. It was great time to come back at my previous school for the conference supported by the Southwest Airline, and I spent extra time in Massachusetts during my Spring Break.
Since I left here, I’ve not been back yet, so it was nice to catch up with many friends. I talked about the current line of my research (giving learners/performers choices as a form of autonomy support), the first and the second study of my dissertation at this conference!
It was good to see tennis team as well. This brings my memory where I was coaching for 2 years as an assistant and 1 year as the head coach. It was nice to join in one of their practices and see their match.
Last October, I attended the annual Association for Applied Sport Psychology conference in Arizona and gave a presentation about my research.
It was always good to learn something new related to sport psychology and a little bit on motor learning from this conference. I probably spoke too fast during my presentation, which I often do, so it’s good to be aware of that but at the same time, I got to talk slow… or more practice needed!
Looking forward to attending at the conference in Orland, Florida during next academic year (I am not a big fan of Disney, though…)
Hello! Unlike Colorado, humidity in Massachusetts is high… difficult to adjust…but I hope you are enjoying the weather!
Right before going to Colorado, I went to the North American Society for the Psychology of Sport And Physical Activity (NASPSPA) conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota to give a presentation about my research and find a Ph.D program starting from September 2015. I was able to receive many questions and feedback, as well as talk to new people including a new Japanese friend Ryota-san, who has studied at University of Michigan, and many distinguished professors, which was great.
Additionally, senior presentations, that I was excited to listen to before going to the conference, were informative and enjoyable. Last day of the conference, I went to Target Center,where people go to watch baseball game, concert, and so on. It was nice to have a conference’s banquet there. Overall, it was nice first conference that I gave a presentation in the United States. During my trip in Minnesota, I had a half day which allowed me to do whatever I wanted. So I decided to go downtown and to Mall of America, which is the biggest mall in the United States. As you might guess, I got lost several times in the mall and felt overwhelmed because of the massive size. There is also a big amusement inside the mall.
I will be in Japan in almost two weeks. I am curious to feel Japan and the Japanese culture while I am in Japan, and looking forward to comparing the differences between the two cultures. Thank you for taking the time to read my second post!
