From a young age I have always been interested in sport and working in the sport industry. Studying a degree in physiotherapy would mean that after university I can work within the NHS or in sports club to help people. It also means that in the future I can help improve a client's life after injury, illness or surgery which is something that I have always wanted to do.

At college, I am currently studying sports and exercise science and have learnt about psychology, anatomy, coaching, research methods, biomechanics, and physical activity. By the time I have finished college I will have learnt about sports massage, physiology, nutrition, and other subjects which will mean I will already have some knowledge when going into university to study physiotherapy. At college, I did course work, written exams, practical exams, and presentations. This helped me develop my time management skills when I had to hand in assignments completed and on time and helped me become more confident when speaking in presentations and work well with the people in my group. Working in a group also means that I have improved on listening skills as different people have different answers to contribute towards the work. Also, I have learnt how to research products and reference websites and books in my assignments to show where the information had come from.

I have done work placement at a football team helping to coach a new team who have never played before. I helped to do drills with the team to develop their skills in all areas as they are new to the sport. I also sometimes worked one on one with some of the players as some might need more help than others. I have learnt skills such as confidence, leadership, and organisation whilst doing my work placement. I am also planning to do physiotherapy work experience. This will help me develop skills and have a better understanding at what physiotherapy is about in a work environment. It will also give me experience with working with others and helping clients.

I also have a part time job working in a bar. In this job, I have developed my skills in customer service, learning how to communicate with people and learning how to work well under pressure. Working at my job has taught me to be more organised and balance my college work and my job and prioritise my assignments and work before going to my job. I also play for a football team which means I have improved on my team work skills as we have to work together and communicate as a team to win the game. I also have a respect for my coaches and teammates which I feel is important as it helps you to build trust in the team.

By studying this degree in university , it will help me to achieve a career in physiotherapy in the future. I am a friendly and caring individual who has a passion for physiotherapy and I feel like I have demonstrated important skills that would be crucial for this degree. I also look forward to having a detailed understanding of physiotherapy and looking further into specific topics such as mental health and the anatomy of the body.

When I go shopping I use reusable bags instead of the plastic carrier bags from the shops. This is because it reduces more plastic waste that could harm the environment. Also, reusable bags are made to be stronger and can hold more weight than plastic bags and this means that they are harder to break and will last a lot longer than plastic bags. By using a reusable shopping bag, you can decrease the resources used on plastic bag production and disposal and protect the environment from plastic pollution.

When travelling to college I use the bus as it is more sustainable as less pollution is going into the air. This takes more cause off of the roads and saves on petrol. Also, if more people use the bus instead of using their own cars that means there are less vehicles that are travelling on the roads and the amount of greenhouse gas emissions entering the atmosphere.

I use reusable water bottles because it helps reduce the use of plastic. This is because plastic is not good for the environment and by reusing a water bottle it will mean that hundreds of plastic bottles wont end up in landfills or in the ocean.

When I first started at my job, I had to learn how to do the job and to do this I couldn’t do it on myself. Me and my colleagues worked together to be able to help me to learn to pull a pint. My colleagues gave me instructions on how to be able to do it properly. I started off and they wasn’t very good but as I learnt how to do it more and more I have become better at it. I could improve on asking more questions as it may have helped me to learn quicker.

I play for a football which means I use the skill of team work all the time during games. In football you can’t play without working as a team. It is a team game in which you have to pass and move with all the players to score a goal and to try and win. To work as a team you have to talk to each other and pass the ball to each other as you can’t just play on yourself. I think I did well with being able to talk to everyone and we won the game. I don’t think we needed to improve on anything as we were able to work together very well as a team and win.

We got spilt into groups and was given some MTA kit. As a group we was given a challenge to create something for example we had to make a chair using the MTA kit. We worked together to firstly create a wheel barrow we did this by communicating with each other to be able to create the wheel barrow. We then created a chair and shelter. I thought that we did well as a group as we were able to win the first challenge. We could have improved by getting everyone who was in our group involved.

When starting college I took part in team building exercises for the induction. This required me to speak to different people including people who I have never met before. I communicated by asking them questions and trying to get to know them as I didn’t know anyone who was there. I think I did well as I made some new friends. I could improve on continuing to talk to new people and make more new friends.

At my part time job I work in a pub which means I have to communicate all the time with different customers. I think I do well communicating in my job as I am able to communicate to different people including people with a hearing difficulties. I do this by writing down what I want to say to them so they can read and understand what I am trying to say to them. In this scenario I don’t think I have anything to improve on as I am able to communicate with different people .

Once I got my GCSE results I came to Barnsley to enroll on the sport and exercise science course. Once I got there I spoke to the tutors who then enrolled me onto the course. Then I had to get my student badge. I felt like I communicate well as i told the tutors the pathway I wanted to go down to make sure I was doing the right course. I could have improved on asking more questions to get to know about my course more.
