Powerlifting Survey / Aled Jones- It will only take 5 minutes

Aled Jones is a British Powerlifter studying Sport Science at Northumbria University. He is conducting a study into the effect of self talk on powerlifters. The participants would be required to take part in a 5 minute questionnaire. There is very little Sport Science based on powerlifting and this is a real oppurtunity for the powerlifting community to contribute to this interesting topic. If you think you can support Aled's study then go to:
