Biography
Over the past 9 years, I have specialised in Sport Injury
Rehabilitation, achieving a distinction classification MSc in Sport
Injury Rehabilitation from the University of Salford, and an upper,
second classification BSc (Hons) in Sport Injury Rehabilitation
from Middlesex University, in addition to working for several years
within non-league football as an injury rehabilitator. I have
delivered seminars in functional screening at the National
University for Physical Education in Bucharest, Romania in addition
to presenting at a conference in “European Standards in Training
Specialists from the Physical Education and Sports Area” at the
same institution. I have also recently been asked to present two
abstracts at the forthcoming “World Conference in Science and
Soccer” in Ghent, Belgium. My research interests include balance
capabilities of athletes and the contributing physiological factors
to balance. This research has, thus far, utilised the Doncaster
Rovers Youth Academy footballers and the Year 1 Dance Practice
