The practical aspects have not only been useful, but also very interesting and enjoyable. This included learning Olympic weightlifting to be able to apply to sports.
In my master's we have access to Powerbase, the elite performance gym - this has allowed me to develop my own coaching and physical abilities to implement. We have also had access to laboratories for a more scientific approach to our modules.
I have undertaken a two-year paid placement working with Loughborough Lightning Cricket and the Women’s University Cricket team as a Strength and Conditioning Coach.
This has allowed me to implement the knowledge and understanding developed throughout the master's and I have seen a dramatic positive change in my coaching as a result.
