I started my PhD in October 2023, focusing on the application of ecological dynamics and complex dynamical system theory in performance analysis and preparation of rugby sevens.
Dr Daniel Fong encouraged this choice. His encouragement and instruction during my time at Loughborough University has played a significant role in my determination to pursue higher level sport science.
At the beginning of the course, I struggled due to my English proficiency, and was lacking some of the theoretical backgrounds needed for some modules. However, I received lots of support from the staff during my time at the University, allowing me to succeed.
Beside my course, I took voluntary work as a football coach in a local football club, Loughborough Dynamo Gold’s U13 teams, as well as working as the strength and conditioning coach for the Loughborough Chinese Football Club.
These experiences allowed me to exercise the principles and knowledge that I acquired from the course and put them into a real context.
