Level 3 Personal Trainer Course
A training opportunities I would want would be to complete a level 3 in personal training this would allow me to further my knowledge as a sports therapist as personal trainers also deal with fines and training but in an everyday sense not just focused on athletes. Being a personal trainer will also allow me to apply my knowledge learnt from being a sports therapy student to build better training programs for my clients as well as making sure they are training correctly. Ill also have the ability to treat any injuries they might have during training or to help aid recovery using my soft tissue manipulation skills learnt during my time learning to be a sports therapist.
Strength and Conditioning MSc

A masters in strength and conditioning will develop my knowledge of different strength and conditioning related topics. I feel like doing a masters will not only improve my knowledge of training and experience it will also help me understand different training techniques and be able evaluate the ways I can improve training programs from the knowledge I would have gained doing this course. This will also address some of the weakness I had during my GAP analysis one of which was to improve my knowledge. Doing a masters will substantially increase my knowledge in the field of strength and conditioning.
Level 2 Basketball Coaching Course

Achieving my basketball coaching qualifications will be a big achievement for me as a basketball player as it will give me the ability to coach at a junior basketball level. As a basketball player who has had some success in the sport I would want to give back and use the knowledge I’ve learnt to teach the younger generation things they might not have learnt otherwise
