Working in international sport: a look behind the scenes

27 Nov 2024
Theatre C
Professional Sports

The role of a sports therapist may seem glamorous from the outside, but what really happens behind the scenes? How do we best prepare for international fixtures during the domestic season, as well as working in major tournaments. Peter aims to shed some light on the role of the medical team pre, during and post international competitions, from both a logistical and performance perspective.

  • Understand the role of the medical team pre, during and post international competition.
  • Appreciate the importance of sport science components when working in performance sport.
