Emerging technologies for performance enhancement, Damian holds a joint appointment within the School of Sport and Exercise Science / ISEAL Victoria University, and the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) where he is responsible for the provision of quality research for both institutions. Damian was appointed as the inaugural AIS Skill Acquisition Specialist (2002) a role dedicated to providing Australian coaches with an evidence-based approach to skill development.

Consistent with many other disciplines of sport and exercise science, Skill Acquisition practitioners now have more sophisticated technology at their disposal for both the measurement and development of skilled performance than ever before. Despite claims boasting refined measurement sensitivity, real-time feedback performance, and enhanced interactivity and fidelity, the relative efficacy of such tools is poorly understood.
