All of our students took part in an exciting, hands-on Sports Science Careers Day at the Alexander Stadium in Birchfield, designed to spark curiosity and deepen understanding of the science behind elite performance. Throughout the day, they engaged in a range of interactive sessions—from crafting their own sports drinks and testing coordination, to exercising in state-of-the-art facilities like the altitude and heat chambers. Students also benefited from a careers talk by industry professionals and explored the vital role of hydration, nutrition, and fitness in sports performance. This enriching experience offered insight into a variety of pathways in health, sport, and science, while developing essential life skills and encouraging students to think critically about their future goals.
