I speak to Niels Feddersen in this week’s episode. Niels is a postdoctoral researcher in sports science at Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Niels studies organisational culture and power relations in elite sports organisations in the UK, Norway, and Denmark. Niels obtained his PhD from Liverpool John Moores University. In the research, he collaborated with several Olympic sports organisations, the FA, and Premier League football clubs. Niels also has a background as a practitioner in sport psychology, primarily in rowing in the youth national teams in Denmark. We speak about a fantastic paper that Niels has contributed to entitled A Qualitative Meta-Study of a Decade of the Holistic Ecological Approach to Talent Development

#161 Niels Feddersen - A Holistic Ecological Approach to Talent Development

It is somewhat paradoxical that the Nordic countries often rank on the top of world happiness surveys, but at the same time many people experience depression and other forms of mental ill-being. Today, we discuss the role that nature-based activities can have for our well-being and discuss a new study that examines a potential of these activities as a lifestyle intervention for well-being and meaning.  Dr Niels Feddersen holds a Postdoctoral researcher position at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. He is current conduction a study exploring nature-based recreational activities (paddle boarding and surfing) as a lifestyle intervention and whether and how these activities could have a positive contribution to sense of connectedness to nature, well-being and meaning in sport. His other research focuses on organisational cultures in elite sport (which was the focus of the first part of this conversation).  You can find more information about the "Fri på Vandet" project on ResearchGate.  And remember to follow Niels on Twitter @niels_NTNU!

Nature-based Activities as an Intervention for Well-Being - Dr Niels Feddersen (Pt2) - Meaningful Sport Series

Understanding organisational cultures and the processes of culture change in elite sport is an increasingly visible field of study. If we think of culture as being much about meanings that people negotiate in their communities of practice, how should we think of culture change and dysfunctional or even 'destructive' cultures in the world of elite sport? This exciting episode with Dr Niels Feddersen explores these questions and draws on his extensive fieldwork in one elite sport organisation that went through turbulent times of conflict as a result of a culture change process that insiders felt as threatening their sense of meaning in sport-work. Dr Niels Feddersen holds a postdoctoral researcher position at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. He completed his PhD at Liverpool John Moores University with his thesis focused on culture change in an elite sport organisation. Currently, he is also working on a project that explores nature-based exercise activities as a lifestyle intervention for people with stress, anxiety, and depression. This will be the focus of the second part of our conversation. Research that is the focus of today's conversation includes:  The emergence and perpetuation of a destructive culture in an elite sport in the United Kingdom A Longitudinal Study of Power Relations in a British Olympic Sport Organization You can follow Niels on Twitter @niels_NTNU
