I chose to continue further study with a master’s as it allowed me to specialise and solely study an area which I had great passion for and knew I wanted to pursue as a career.
The transition between UG and PG has been harder than I imagined, the standards and expectations of the writing and reading aspects are something that I have had to develop throughout my master’s degree. However, the depth of content being taught and the ability to apply this into an elite sport setting has been an experience I wouldn’t have gained at undergraduate level.
Using the facilities at Loughborough has allowed me to apply my work to different sports and environments, as well as use different technology such as cameras, GPS systems and analysis software that I wouldn’t usually have access to.
The networking opportunities provided through the course have been incredibly useful for employability support and creating contacts to support me through my studies and future career.
