Career Summary
Biography
Mitch completed a Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science in 2012 at The University of of the Sunshine Coast. Following graduation, Mitch completed a Master of Science (by Research) in 2016 investigating the physiological effects of collisions in contact sport athletes. Mitch then moved overseas where he worked in applied sports science practice, and as a research assistant at the University of Roehampton on two externally funded projects investigating the physiological effects of heat and cooling. In 2019, Mitch returned to Australia to begin his PhD which explored how locomotor and collision workloads are quantified, and their influence on fatigue in the rugby football codes. Mitch completed this PhD in 2023 at the University of the Sunshine Coast. Mitch has presented at both national and international conferences, and published multiple peer reviewed papers in the areas of applied physiology, sports science, performance analysis, and systems thinking/human factors.
Mitch's current research program involves understanding and quantifying athlete workloads in team sports, how fatigue is quantified in complex environments, and the application of systems thinking and human factors methods to the field of sport and exercise science. Mitch maintains national and international collaborations with applied sports science practitioners and research academics. Mitch maintains an interest in modern meta-science practices and their application to the field of sport and exercise science, including open science practices such as publishing open access, pre-registration, and registered reports. Mitch is currently available for supervision of Honours, Masters, and PhD students.
