             “Having worked with many teams
             and individual athletes, I have found
             that being able to apply knowledge to
             problems in different situations requires
             confidence gained from previous
             experience. We give our students
             confidence by putting them in practical
             situations throughout their years of
             study, equipping them to be an effective
             part of the workforce from day one.”

            “I enjoyed the fact that the sport
            science staff are active practitioners
            in a variety of areas in sport science.
            Their knowledge has been beneficial to
            my learning and has assisted me with
            my career as a strength & conditioning
            coach with a variety of professional and
            amateur sports teams.”
