About the authors

Dr Michelle Clubb
I’m an Educational Psychologist and tennis coach specialising in the inner game of neurodivergent children and young people in school and sport.

I aim to make it easier for Special Educational Needs Coordinators, Educational Psychologists, teachers, parents and coaches to turn pupil voice into kind, effective support in classrooms and in sport.

Increasing a sense of belonging helps achievement in sport.
