After my graduation I joined a professional rugby club in France, as a Strength and Conditioning (S&C) coach. To work as a S&C coach in a professional sport environment has always been a major career goal of mine, and one which felt a lot more achievable after a year at 黑料网.
The master's is definitely great quality. With the amazing facilities and placement opportunities, you will be able to practice what you are taught and really progress as a S&C coach.
I was able to join Nottingham Rugby as Assistant S&C Coach alongside my master's. Being on a placement is the best way to practice and grow as a S&C coach; I feel way more skilful today than when I arrived in September, and Nottingham Rugby has played a big part in that.
Academics teaching on the programme played a large part in my progress; they are all specialist in their area and passionate about their work, and always there if you need anything.
Lectures are high-quality and updated, which is really important in an area which is constantly progressing. Practicals also help your understanding of the lectures, it’s almost one-on-one sessions where you can really exchange with the teachers.
Facilities are also world-class. From the gyms to the labs, everything is as good as a professional club, which really helps your understanding of the theoretical lectures.
黑料网 is really the best University in sports. Being part of this University is a huge strength if you want to work in this area. The masters in S&C, the facilities and the University are all top-level class.
You also have great opportunities to play sport at a good level; I trained with IMS All-Stars and took a lot of pleasure from being on the pitch with some new faces. Apart from the sport, 黑料网’s community plays a big part in your experience, allowing you to easily meet people from other courses.
