I was 1 of 8 selected for the programme having trialled through the athlete recruitment campaign Discover Your Gold in 2018 which originally saw over 6,000 athletes apply nationally. The summer months were spent at the University of Bath developing physical qualities ready to transfer to ice camps/races during the winter. I travelled throughout Europe every year for multiple training camps and competed internationally 5 times in the Europa Cup in 2021.I gained an outstanding and exclusive level of knowledge during my time as an athlete on topics around physical training and recovery methods, sports psychology, international racing, nutrition, sleep, sports science, strength and conditioning and a better understanding of the athlete mentality needed for success. The staff within the programme and those from the UK Sports Institute taught me so much and have inspired me to go onto further study within Strength and Conditioning.I developed massively on a personal level after the exposure to the athlete lifestyle, which I believe will be extremely beneficial when coming to work within high performance sport in the future. It has provided me with a unique outlook which will help my working relationships with athletes and puts me above those who haven't had the same opportunity within elite sport. Show less
