A sincere thank you to everyone involved in yesterday’s MSc Sport and Exercise Science Conference. The theme of resilience gave us a strong thread to pull on across both the Performance and Clinical pathways, and the contributions from speakers, staff, and students made for a genuinely worthwhile day.
A particular thanks to our guest speakers: Dr Chelsea Batty, Dr Julian Ayres, Tom King and Ben Agius whose applied insight and willingness to share real-world experience added real weight to the discussions.
Our thanks also go to our MSc students and academic staff for their engagement throughout the day, and for the part they played in making it a success!
