Nick Galli, Ph.D.

Clinical & Research

Nick is broadly interested in psychosocial health and well-being in high-level athletes. Within this realm, his research has two foci: (1) resilience and adversarial growth to sport stressors for high-level athletes, and (2) body image and disordered body change behaviors in high-level athletes. He has employed both quantitative and qualitative methods to answer questions in each area. Nick is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Health and Kinesiology at the U, and in this role teaches undergraduate and graduate courses on health behavior change, sport psychology, body image, community-based prevention, and stress management. His research interests focus on the psychosocial health and well-being of competitive athletes, with particular interests in the areas of body image, disordered eating, resilience, and personal growth from adversity. Since 2008 he has published more than 15 scholarly journal articles and delivered over 20 presentations in these areas.
