MR KEITH PARRY Mr Keith Parry is an expert on sports fandom and the spectator experience. His research has examined issues around identity, masculinity, and the conflicts between country and culture in Australia. This research has provided him with a deep insight into both the sociology of sport (and sports fans) and the Greater Western Sydney region. DR SAMUEL CHALMERS Dr Samuel Chalmers researches sporting performance, thermoregulation, and load monitoring. He has worked with elite athletes in the Australian Football League (Adelaide Football Club) and internationally ranked beach volleyballers (South Australian Sports Institute). DR EMMA GEORGE Dr Emma George’s research is focused on promoting lifelong physical activity and health through designing and implementing programs in the community, clubs and workplaces. Her research has involved working with middle-aged and older men, culturally and linguistically diverse groups, university employees, and youth in organised sport. DR ANDREW BENNIE Dr Andrew Bennie is an expert in sports coaching and physical education (PE). He has worked with elite professional sport teams, Indigenous coaches in community and high performance settings, and with PE teachers in schools across NSW. He has specialised in the use of in-depth interview techniques, on- site ‘live’ observations, and video analysis of coaching-teaching practice. DR KYLIE STEEL Dr Kylie Steel is a former PE teacher and sports coach who is an expert in skill acquisition and sports performance. She studies the perceptual-cognitive aspects of decision-making in team sports and the various applications of video training techniques with athletes and special populations.

Of particular interest is the creation of game day fan experiences and increasing fan engagement. He has recently worked with the Australian Rugby Union gaining an insight into the fan experience provided by the ARU across various venues within Australia. Tim also fills the role of Sport Management Course Advisor in which he has assisted AFL and NRL players develop a pathway into university.

Her findings will help the team to improve the way they nurture up and coming talent. Sport and Exercise student Dawn Scott is currently undertaking her PhD on a part time basis whilst continuing her role as the lead fitness coach for the US Women’s National soccer team. Dawn’s PhD will examine the physical demands of training and matches in elite level female soccer players, data that she hopes will inform her fitness regimes for the US players for Rio 2016, and beyond. Sports Management students regularly undertake applied projects where they focus on an issue or challenge facing a sports organisation. Recently a group of students focused on strategies to increase the overall awareness of the GIANTS brand. Qualitative and quantitative data collected by the students was used to inform these recommendations. Students are treated as consultants in these projects and provide a presentation and full report on completion.
