I have also enjoyed the practical side of my course where I am able to gain a fuller understanding of what I have been taught in lectures by actually taking part in experiments, such as ‘VO2 max’ tests. Through such practical's I can consolidate both the science and physiology aspects of sport.
Other highlights from my time at Loughborough include joining the women’s rugby team, where I have had so much fun making amazing friends whilst receiving high quality rugby and gym coaching. The facilities for rugby (and almost any sport you can think of) at Loughborough are world leading. Being able to be part of a top team winning the league last year was a personal highlight of mine.
After graduation, I would love to go into the coaching industry, with my aspirations specifically geared towards coaching for athletes who have impairments. I believe that no matter who you are and what abilities you have, sport is a fundamental therapy for a happy and healthy lifestyle.
