EXPERIENCE IN ELITE FOOTBALL

As a senior consultant sport psychologist to the FA since 2002, Misia has made significant contribution to the current coach education programme at all levels. 

Further to her work with the FA, Misia has also developed and implemented a number of holistic sport psychology support programmes in football academies.

Working at Wycombe Wonderers FC, Misia designed and created an innovative and bespoke programme for the club. This included overseeing and delivering the programme which at the time was the largest and most comprehensive sport psychology support programme in the UK.

Misia’s work with the Senior National Women’s football team was the first time that a sport psychologist has been appointed by the FA to support any national team. The core of her work included providing psychological support to players during training camps and international tournaments.

Misia worked at Queens Park Rangers FC in the academy, supporting players, coaches and staff while developing an intervention programme that enhances the emotional resilience of the youth players.

Currently Misia is the head sport psychologist at Wycombe Wanderers FC.
