During the Strength and Conditioning MSc, I found modules such as Professional Practice for Strength and Conditioning and Strength and Conditioning Coaching particularly useful as they gave me an opportunity to reflect upon my own practice as a coach.
They also gave me access to dynamic environments, helping me to explore different coaching styles and behaviours, which could impact how I shaped my practice moving forwards.
I found all the academic support and expertise that I received throughout the course very useful, as it allowed me to see coaching through a different lens via the academics’ own experiences and guidance. Hearing their experiences enabled me to gain a realistic view of what the world of Strength and Conditioning coaching would be like if I were to choose to enter it after graduating.
