Expertise
Simon is currently working as a doctoral researcher at the Department of Movement and Sport Sciences department (MOSS) and is part of the Sport Psychology and Mental Support research group (SPMB) of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB). He graduated in 2013 as a Master in Organizational Psychology. Besides, he’s currently pursuing a certificate in Sport psychology.
