Hello hi guys
My name is Mahlognolo Masemola and I am from Pretoria (Mamelodi). I am a second year student in Human movement sciences. I am one person that is into sports but due to some injuries I was asked to stop (but I still carried on). I am a fun yet awkward person and loves late night drives. My expectations for this module is to understand the content (Ps: I was already lost in the first class) and how to apply it in my career as a coach.

Hi, my name is Tegan. I play various types of sports, but mostly performs in Netball, Hockey and Athletics. The reason for choosing this degree was initially not my decision as I wanted to do biokinetics, but my matric marks did not allow it. I have grown to like the study material and would not for any reason change my degree at this moment. I am looking forward to having contact class again and seeing faces all over the PUK now. I think this semester is going to be full of challenges, but if we stick together and help those in need, we can pass this module.

Don’t ask me how, I just never get mad… or at least nothing has ever managed to get me mad as yet if I may say. Really looking forward to seeing what this module has in store for me. 🫠

ANATOMY: My secret BFF

2024-07-29 06:06:11 UTC

My name is Dimakatso Wageng, often called Didi. I am currently pursuing a degree in Human Movement Sciences. Throughout high school, I actively participated in hockey, netball, and soccer, though my focus now lies solely on soccer.

My decision to study this field stems from a lifelong fascination with anatomy. Given my limitations in pursuing a professional athletic career, I was determined to delve into the subject academically. When not engaged in physical activity like gym workouts/ soccer training or jogging, I find solace in quiet reflection, processing the intricate details of human anatomy.

I am particularly enthusiastic about this module and eager to explore the complexities of the human body in greater depth.
