His research has particularly concentrated on the transition between junior and into elite sport at senior level, both from an athlete and coach perspective. Some of the topics he has researched are linked to structural frameworks for development such as the concept of talent, talent development environment and relative age difference, but also exercise characteristics such as amount of training, motivation, perfectionism, as well as factors that affect the athlete's development in the form of stress, dual career and the selection process.
