Professor Dave Richardson is the Director of the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at LJMU. He plays a key leadership role in the delivery of academic, financial and people management of the School. Dave started as a lecturer in the School in 1995 and his academic lens is coloured by an appreciation of the socio-cultural and psycho-social context of applied practice. Dave's primary research interest concerns the management, development and welfare of elite athletes. Specifically, this research incorporates aspects of athlete transitions, identity and critical moments within and out of sport. Typically, this research explores environmental, organisational, leadership and cultural themes that impact the strategic and operational aspects of an organisations approach to athlete development. Dave has developed a reputation as a leading authority in football health and, in particular, football in the community (FitC). This work utilises the power of football as a vehicle for positive behavioural change. Dave is in a uniquely privileged position of being able to publish and practice extensively in both of these domains. His publications and conference presentations reflect the strategic, operational, cultural, social and psychological development of practice within both the high performance environments and community health agencies. These publications reflect the humanistic understanding of the person (including the player, athlete, practitioner and other significant development stakeholders), their personal history and the context of the situation and environment within which they exist. More recently, Dave has been known for his contribution as an academic contributor to the Leaders in Performance professional journal. Dave is currently a grassroots coach in Liverpool and is completing his FA Level 2 coaching qualification.
