Hello!
I am writing this blog to post my Football Analysis and Sport Psychology Articles so that people can give their views on my work and perhaps improve and build upon the knowledge of my readers.
A little about me….
I am a third year student at Canterbury Christchurch University, studying Physical Education and Sport & Exercise Science, looking to start a career in Performance Analysis. Most of my past experiences have been as a Sports coach for two companies, working in Primary Schools across Kent, delivering after school clubs and teaching lessons in Martial Arts, Athletics, Multi-skills and mainly, my true sporting love, football. I have been able to do this due to gaining an FA Level 1 coaching Football and UK Athletics Teaching Secondary Athletics. In addition to this I am also qualified in Futsal- A Beginner’s Guide. I have worked in a Kent Primary School teaching Physical Education for a term including Gymnastics and Dance as subjects.
Between March and May 2014 I worked on a Project for Kent Sport and Sport England on the subject of the way in which all primary schools in Kent are using the Sport Premium Funding available to them. This included gathering large amounts of numerical data and analysing it to create a report of my findings that I presented to a group of twelve people that all have large influences on sports in schools in Kent.
Nowadays…
I work part-time in a supermarket and I have spent the past year constantly contacting Football Clubs, in an attempt to gain experience. This as yet has had no success but I hope that this blog and the views of people reading this can aid my development. I have spoken to many Performance Analysts and Sport Science staff in the worlds biggest clubs via LinkedIn, in order to understand and educate myself on the roles of an Analyst and how to get the first step on the ladder. Many answers seem to revolve around gaining experience, but I have a Catch 22 situation in that nobody will give me experience until I have experience….
