Marc Rochon
Performance Analyst, Tottenham Hotspur FC
Course: BSc (Hons) Applied Sport Science
"The practical experience I learnt during the course was key in getting my current job. I worked at Southampton FC for my work-based unit where I was able to apply specific skills I'd learnt during our practical sessions in the Health, Exercise and Sport Science laboratories.
My job now involves performance development analysis for the youth development squads and the youth team squad. This involves statistical analysis, video footage analysis and educational aids. The work environment is really friendly and fun and it really doesn't feel like work as I enjoy it so much.
I would reccomend that anyone wanting to pursure the same career path as me develops their knowledge and gains as much practical experience as possible as well as making industry contacts".
