Meet the Team

Rahel Widrig

Rahel is originally from Switzerland and moved to Newcastle to pursue her MSc in Sport and Exercise Psychology, which she completed in 2025. She is passionate about exploring how psychology can enhance experiences in high-performance sport, particularly within team environments. Her research interests centre on team morale, with the aim of better understanding how it develops and how it can be supported to improve both performance and athlete experiences.

Rahel contributed to last year’s conference by creating the graphic designs and helping to bring the event to life visually, and she is excited to take on the role again this year. She is also looking forward to attending the conference once more and learning from the invited speakers.
