Ross completed his PhD at Bangor University in 2008 examining the effects of imagery in relation to motor performance. His research currently focuses on psychological skills and elite performance, with a particular interest in examining factors that impact on the efficacy of psychological skills in performance related contexts. A second research area is beginning to examine how biases in visual attention (as a result of hemispheric asymmetries in the brain) impact on motor performance. He has received research funding from the Wellcome Trust, the Sports Council for Wales, and the Hospitality, Leisure, Sport and Tourism Network. Ross is an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society (BPS), is a chartered Sport and Exercise Psychologist with the BPS and is also accredited by BASES. He has worked with a number of high level squads (including Welsh Yachting Association, Welsh Canoe Association, Welsh Athletics Association, and the Golf Union of Wales) and athletes (professional golfers and divers).Current projects include an MoD funded study investigating the neurocognitive processes underpinning different aspects of mental resilience in military personnel.
