Natalie Durand-Bush is a Canadian sport psychology scientist, practitioner, and author. She is a full professor in the School of Human Kinetics at the University of Ottawa.[1]
Durand-Bush has conducted research on mental performance and well-being in high-performance sports through self-regulation interventions and sport-informed mental health care. She is the recipient of the 1998 Franklin Henry Young Scientist Award from the Canadian Society for Psychomotor Learning and Sport Psychology[2] and a fellow of Association for Applied Sport Psychology (AASP).[3] From 2019 to 2020, she was the president of Association for Applied Sport Psychology.[4]
Education and career
Durand-Bush completed her B.S. in Kinanthropology from the University of Ottawa in 1993, followed by a M.A. in Human Kinetics in 1995. Later, in 2000, she completed her Ph.D. in Education from the same institution.[1]
Durand-Bush began her academic career at the University of Ottawa in 2000, joining the School of Human Kinetics as an assistant professor. She held this position until 2009, after which she worked as an associate professor from 2009 to 2017. Since 2017, she has been a full professor in the School of Human Kinetics at the University of Ottawa.[1]
Durand-Bush co-founded and chaired the Canadian Sport Psychology Association from 2006 to 2008. She was the vice-president of the International Society of Sport Psychology from 2005 to 2009 and the President of the Association for Applied Sport Psychology from 2019 to 2020.[4] She co-founded the Canadian Centre for Mental Health and Sport (CCMHS) in 2018 and has been serving as its executive director since 2021.[5][6]
Research
Durand-Bush's research is focused on themes of sport psychology, mental skills training and evaluation, coaching, and mental health/well-being. In her 2001 study, she evaluated and refined the Ottawa Mental Skills Assessment Tool (OMSAT-3) for athletes, presenting the improved OMSAT-3*.[7]
In her 2015 study, Durand-Bush examined the stress, burnout, well-being, and self-regulation capacity of undergraduate students, finding that self-regulation significantly influenced stress and mental health.[8] In 2019, she explored factors contributing to optimal team performance in high-performance curling by developing the Optimal Team Functioning (OTF) model.[9]
In 2022, she published the Gold Medal Profile for Sport Psychology, a framework that featured 11 mental performance competencies influenced by mental health.[10]
