It was great to learn about Olympic weightlifting. It’s a very important aspect of strength and conditioning, but there aren’t too many opportunities to train in it. It’s a real bonus to have it among my skill set.

Learning about the safe set up of the gym for athletes and how to devise individualised plans for them are two things that also serve me well today – alongside the effective delivery of sport science support in the correct physical testing order.

Every module impacted my learning, but my dissertation in applied strength and conditioning with sport nutrition really tested me. I was thrilled to achieve a distinction for this work.
