One Eye on the Prize

Your last year at university is always difficult but when most of the people you start with graduate a year before you and are out there living the dream  it can be hard work. Being part time isn’t all it’s cracked up to be - believe me. The motivation to drag yourself out of bed so that you can spend an unhealthy amount of time acquainting yourself with a strangers armpit on the Northern Line is often lacking. But. And there is a big but.  If I want to do the things that my former classmates are doing then I need to get the motivation back and make sure I finish what I’ve started. I need to beat my inner chimp


Victoria Pendleton working on her inner chimp.

Working alongside experienced Sports Therapists/Physiotherapists makes me want to fast forward this next year so that I can be out there already. A bit like my nephew Ben I want to run before I can walk. But I think that this is a good thing as it shows how hungry I am for my new career – I just need to redirect this enthusiasm into my studies for a little while longer and graduation will be here before I know it. Let’s face it the last 4 years have flown by.

Here are some of the great things that my former colleagues are getting up to:

Jo Denby - Sports Therapist to Eddie Izzard for his Sports Relief Challenge


Samia Gomez - Official Sports Therapist for the 50 in 50 challenge


Great stuff well done guys.

Oh and if you want to learn more about your inner chimp you should read this or this I can highly recommend them both.
