I found all the work I did across my placement interesting and enjoyable, and it helped cement my personal interests as being in the understanding of the functions and processes of the human body.

In particular I really enjoyed my coaching work at FixMyRun, and since finishing my placement year I have actually continued working there at weekends while still studying at Loughborough. I may continue working there once I graduate from university also.

My key piece of advice is to do anything and everything. It’s something I’ve learned myself over my time here, and I think being involved in as much as possible (within reason) and trying different things is a guaranteed way to ensure you get the most out of your time at University.
