Biography

Riki is a motor learning and skill acquisition academic in the discipline of health and physical education. Having recently completed his PhD investigating novel approaches to motor imagery for skill development, he has developed a broad interest in areas associated with motor learning, motor control, skill acquisition and sport psychology. Riki teaches and researches in the areas of motor learning, skill acquisition, sports psychology, anatomy, physiology and biomechanics. He is the author of a number of journal articles, book chapters and conference publications that have primarily focused on learning and developing motor skills, including areas such as nonlinear pedagogy, constraints-led practice, performance-enhancing technologies (virtual reality), and neuropsychological techniques (mental practice and motor imagery).
