Kris Dun is the National Performance Psychology Lead at the Australian Institute of Sport. But it was a bold move to Scotland back in 2010 that kick-started her career, helping her gain invaluable psychology experience at the Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth Games.

From supporting athletes at four different Commonwealth Games, to working with both Team Australia and Team Scotland at the Olympic Games, Kris shares loads of advice for those looking at a career in sports psychology.

The ‘Beyond the Game’ podcast series has been developed in collaboration with the New South Wales Office of Sport. Part of the Her Future in Sport initiatives, we’re helping the Office of Sport to light the spark of inspiration in young women and adolescent girls to show the breadth of interesting and fulfilling careers across the broader sports sector.

From creative to curious, scientific to sporty, we want every girl to see that there is a place for her in a sports career.
