Dr. Robert Schinke

School of Human Kinetics

Dr. Robert Schinke has been working with local reserves in Northern Ontario to develop culturally-relevant approaches to motivate Aboriginal athletes. This research has uncovered the personal, coaching and community social support practices of indigenous athletes at the community and elite levels.  Schinke is also investigating the sport-related challenges new Canadians experience in the country’s sport system. He is exploring how the national sport system can better understand the needs of immigrant athletes. Furthermore, his work transcends elite athletes to community sport programs, working with refugees. Schinke's most recent work focuses on the mental health of new comers to Canada, particularly those setting in Northeastern Ontario. He is in the early stages of a five year SSHRC Insight Grant exploring adolescent settlement practices off forced immigrants through the medium of physical activity.
