WHO WE ARE
"We aim to provide you with focused scientific support based on your needs."
Dr Karl Stevenson, the founder of Performsense, spent the last twelve years researching the factors that contribute to elite sports performance. During this time, Karl has worked closely with sporting governing bodies, sports technology companies, coaches, teams, and individual athletes to provide cutting edge research and sports science support. While achieving a PhD in Sports Psychology at the University of Brighton, he was funded by the England Cricket Board (ECB) to research the effectiveness of simulated training environments on skill learning & decision making, leading to several academic publications.
Karl also worked as a consultant Sports Psychologist at the University of Brighton's Sport & Exercise Science Consultancy Unit (SESCU), where he applied his academic research into commercial product testing, providing the company (BOLA) with statistical evidence to support their simulated bowling machine, resulting in several successful capital funding bids. Aside from researching, Karl also enjoyed lecturing on Sport & Exercise Psychology, Motor Learning & Control, and Skill Acquisition modules, where he aimed not to teach facts, but inspire students to learn through engaging and applied methods.
Drawing on his valuable researching, lecturing, and applied experiences, Dr. Karl aims to provide a professional but approachable service that is supported by scientific research to support all angles of the sporting spectrum. "Whether you are an elite coach, or a dedicated parent, a professional or non-league team, an elite athlete or a competitive socialite, we aim to provide you with scientific support that focuses on your needs."
