ISESA Podcast
The Irish Sport and Exercise Science Association Podcast aims to open up the world of Irish Sport and Exercise Science to you. Through interviews with practitioners, researchers, athletes and patients, we will showcase and celebrate the amazing work being done in Ireland.
Following up on our previous episode (#19), Bruce Wardrop chatted with 3 graduates who chose sport and exercise science courses and are now working in the health and sport sectors.
Karen Peacock is a clinical exercise physiologist working with UPMC Sports Medicine in Waterford.
Darragh Whelan and Jamie Blanchfield have both recently returned from the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games where they worked with the Irish Cycling Squad. This is particularly impressive for Darragh who only graduated last October!
They share their education stories and relate it back to where they are now in their careers - inspiring and motivational stuff for any potential sport & exercise science students!
Our vision at the Irish Sport and Exercise Science Association is to enhance the health, well-being and performance of individuals through sport and exercise sciences.
With that vision in mind and looking to the future, we thought it would be a good idea to put out an episode aimed at anyone who might want to know more about studying sport and exercise science - from current secondary students, to parents, teachers and guidance counsellors or someone considering a return to 3rd level education - this is the episode for you.
In this short form episode, we will give you the broad strokes of what studying sport and exercise science at 3rd level is all about, what the university experience might entail and importantly, what career opportunities are out there for graduates.
Sharing this episode is particularly important. We would love to reach as many schools, guidance counsellors, teachers, students and parents as possible, so please send this episode to anyone you think might be interested!
