Amanpreet Singh who worked closely with Jeanne, reflects on his placement experience below.

“So I started the King’s Sport placement not knowing what to expect as remote placements were very new to me and to a lot of other people too. However, I quickly realized that I could use this experience not only to improve my sport specific physiotherapy skills but to also improve my virtual presentation skills which is extremely vital especially in the current circumstances.

I spent the first week of the placement shadowing other students in the placement to get an idea of what I was required to do. This was very helpful as it gave me a baseline of what I needed to do and improve from there. In the second week I was allocated a King’s Sport Performance student which I ended up creating a very strong relationship with. I started off by getting to know the athlete, doing an initial assessment and then creating a training plan which we did 3 times a week. It was very rewarding to witness the improvements my athlete made in such a short period of time and how they trusted me to prescribe the right exercises.

Not only did this placement help me with the exercise prescription and clinical reasoning side of things, but it also made me appreciate the importance of mental health in sport. This placement required me to do a lot of research but it was very enjoyable and interesting. I was even able to deliver some presentations on different topics that I researched such as; equality and diversity, anti-doping, time management and sports psychology.

Overall, this placement was amazing and would definitely recommend it to other students if they have the opportunity. It is very flexible and you can work from home in our own hours. Although it was a remote placement, I don’t think it put me at any disadvantage compared to other placements as I gained a lot of valuable information that I will use in the future as a physiotherapist”
