MSc Sports Psychology

I got into cycling at 7 years old when my brothers and I did a taster session at Newport Velodrome. I have been racing ever since with my highlights being representing Great Britain at the Junior World and European Track Championships in 2016 and getting a National title in the Individual Pursuit in 2017. I chose Loughborough University because it is number 1 in the world for sport related courses and the chance to combine studying for my masters with racing at a national level with world-class support was an offer I couldn't turn down!
