Strength and Conditioning – Shannon

on April 12, 2020

I originally thought my pervious blog post was the last one so I apologise if it sounded very concluding towards the end. This is my final blog post surrounding my work placement as a strength and conditioning coach in high performance athletes as well as my time on this work placement module.

With the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic that is happening, everything is on lockdown so its quite strange not being able to do all the things I usually would be doing, especially this Easter weekend where the weather is lovely and sitting in a beer garden would be lovely right now, unfortunately going for a nice Easter walk will have to do. With the University gym being shut I am a bit lost as that’s where I spend a lot of my time for work as well as training myself. I still have to work so I am working from home and I have been programmed into the new live classes timetable I take a live HIIT and core class on a Tuesday and Friday so I have been spending a lot of time preparing for those classes and practicing them before delivering them so that has also allowed me to keep training, maybe not to the extent I was training at but at least its something.

outside of working from home for the gym I managed to get my dissertation finished and I just need to submit it. Getting this finished was a big relief. I enjoyed writing as I find my topic very interesting so it was enjoyable to write but that’s not to say it wasn’t stressful cause it was. Other than that I have been writing my final report for my work placement. I gathered all my appendices first as this I felt was going to take a while which it did. I plan to get it finished by Wednesday at the latest as it is due next Monday.

I have really enjoyed this module and think it is very well organised and have for sure learnt and taken a lot away from it.

Stay safe everyone!
