I volunteered at the sport science department once a week to experience first hand how sport science is applied in an elite environment. I am particularly involved in supporting the strength and conditioning training of academy players. I assist players with technique of exercises performed. Occasionally taking the core section of the workouts to allow for 2 age groups sessions to take place at the same time. I have also observed the testing of speed, agility and endurance which occur multiple times throughout the year to keep tabs on each athletes fitness levels, progress and observe their performances. Here I help to record data from testing into the football squad software. From this I learn how sport scientists present data to coaches.
