The role will support Strathclyde Sport’s strategic objectives to achieve greater year-on-year success in BUCS competitions whilst supporting the development of individual athletes through practical delivery of S&C services to external partners, and University of Strathclyde FOCUSport Clubs and Performance Sport Scholars. Whilst not exhaustive, this will include the enhancement of athletes’ strength, power, speed, agility and endurance whilst simultaneously reducing the volume of training days lost through injuries.
