Anders Meland

Senior Adviser, Norges Bank Investment Management

I hold a PhD in Sport Psychology and have worked four years as a Senior advisor at Norges Bank Investment Management (80%), a researcher and head of the Sports Psychological lab at the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences (20%). I work with developing already high performing groups, and I have a special interest in developing and testing new ways to improve attentional control and reduce unnecessary stress-activation and exhaustion. I have previously spent much time together with military aviators and elite athletes investigating how mental training can improve performance and help them conquer, live and flourish with high ambitions and large workloads. Together with my personal sports background and 20 years in the Armed Forces I have extensive knowledge of how to develop, implement and evaluate both physical and psychological training programs in performance environments where reductions in work and training loads is not necessarily an option. I Hold IOCs Mental Health in Elite Sport Certificate.
