FC Bayern Munich
Following the announcement of a partnership between the University of Denver (DU) and FC Bayern Munich in October 2018, experts across campus began to brainstorm ways to collaborate. With one of the most prestigious sport and performance psychology programs in the country at DU, the idea was formed that Sport and Performance Psychology colleagues with DU and FC Bayern Munich could connect. Capitalizing on Dr. Jessica Bartley’s visit to Munich in September 2019, our Sport and Performance faculty and students are working to develop relevant and valuable online content for coaches and athletes alongside professionals from FC Bayern.
Fight Oar Die
The Fight Oar Die team, an all-veteran rowing team, completed the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. They spent 50 days, 11 hours, and 35 minutes at sea working their way through the grueling Atlantic race to raise awareness for Veterans’ issues. Throughout their training, our Military Psychology and Sport and Performance Psychology students partnered with the team to provide consultation as well as to collect data to better inform future FOD crews. When the team arrived in Antigua, DU students met them at the finish line for a full debrief. To learn more or to donate to the cause visit usvetrow.org.
