Personal statement Joseph McGowan.

Throughout my life, I have always enjoyed engaging in Physical Education and would like to pursue my career in the field of sports science. I have always had a keen interest and have felt very passionately when it comes to the practical and theoretical work concerning this subject. I am very aware of the importance of exercise and the related issues of diet and fitness on the prevention of injury to the human body

I am currently studying sports science in college where I will be gaining 3 BTEC’s. I have chosen to study sports science as it has always fascinated me about how the body functions and also how the body can be kept in the best shape. During my time studying Physical Education, I have undertaken research assignments in a variety of topics such as motivation, reinforcement, and local provisions. Completing these assignments has always been a challenge and it gives me a chance to work hard and improve my knowledge in this subject.

Sport has always been a massive part of my life ever since I started playing football at the age of five. I have competed in 3 County Cup finals and represented Runcorn Linnets and St Helens Town football clubs. Football is my main interest; besides the fact I enjoy other sports such as Badminton, basketball, Table Tennis and many more. I have had experience in these sports having participated in many during physical education at school, a subject which has played a big part in my school career. The things I enjoy about sport are that it needs a lot of dedication and hard work to be successful, as well as sport being very demanding and challenging.

As a result, in my interest in sport I want to study the subject further in education. I have played sport ever since I was young and still play it now. I feel so passionate about sport it being a massive part of my life.

I am a very motivated and energetic person and I am interested and driven to teach the subject, I am willing to succeed into studying sport further and give back to the subject and hope that I can inspire future learners to become as passionate about Sport and physical education as I am.
