These past couple of weeks have been very difficult in terms of trying to complete university work and to try and stay engaged with what is left to do. We had to complete the presentations this week and submit them electronically rather than present. I found this very difficult as I had prepared some visual aids which I then had to take out and add in extra parts to the presentation. Tony was very helpful during this time as he allowed me to use photos from the website and Instagram pages, which provided me with some talking points during my presentation.
Romie was also very helpful as prior to the university closing I was in self-isolation and Romie ensured me it could still be completed on time and gave me options which eased my anxiety.
With everything going on surrounding Covid-19 it’s a very anxious time, this is no different for the students who now have to complete coursework with only half of the content being taught face-to-face and the others over video calls which have had some issues.
When completing my presentation, I found it to run quite smoothly, and I was glad I had my previous blog posts as it helped me to remember what I had completed over the last 5 weeks. Recording it was quite difficult as I have an extremely busy household and so found it difficult to have no noise in the background while recording. Watching my presentation back I thought it went well and I enjoyed writing about my experience and thoughts and feelings about what happened during my placement. I am very disappointed that I will be unable to complete my remaining hours with coach my sport as I had such a brilliant experience with them. I am very thankful for the hours I got to complete and the many skills that I gained from working alongside some great coaches and I hope I can take these skills with me into my working life in the near future.
