Background

About Marc Glaude

My interest in sport began at a young age. I participated in many youth team sports and particularly excelled in football. As a result, I was provided with the opportunity to play on the University of Montreal varsity football team as an offensive lineman while pursuing my studies in physical and health education. Following my undergraduate degree, I was selected by the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the 2017 CFL entry draft. During my first professional training camp, injuries kept me off the field and I chose to end my athletic career. However, I still wanted to remain involved in football, and coaching was the next logical step. From 2018 to 2023, I was an Assistant Coach with the McGill University football team where I was responsible for the technical, tactical, and mental coaching of the offensive line. From my above-mentioned experience, I have observed that coaches not only play a central role in athletic and personal development, but they also have a significant influence on the dynamics of the groups they coach. Therefore, I have decided to pursue a doctoral degree in sport psychology with the main objective of increasing my understanding of effective coaching strategies to improve team dynamics.
