Personal Statement- Sports Science
My brother wants to do sports science at University but he doesn't know what books to read or extra things he could do outside of school like any courses, specific websites to visit, lectures etc. It would be really helpful if someone would be able to respond.

The main things would be finding out more about what the courses involve and doing some research into those topics in his free time and thinking about if any of the concepts can be applied to his current activities (is he involved in coaching in any way at the moment?)

Hey there, I've been following this thread and wanted to chime in with a couple of additional ideas. For books, 'Supertraining' by Yuri Verkhoshansky and Mel Siff is a classic in the field of sports science, especially when it comes to strength and conditioning.
If your brother enjoys podcasts, 'Sigma Nutrition Radio' by Danny Lennon is a fantastic resource for evidence-based information on nutrition and performance. He often has leading experts in sports science as guests, so it could be really useful.
On top of that, the 'Science for Sport' website (www.scienceforsport.com) has lots of free articles on a range of topics related to sports science. They also offer online courses.
Lastly, it could be useful for him to start following some leading sports scientists on social media platforms like Twitter. Ppl like Stuart McMillan (@StuartMcMillan1), Brett Bartholomew (@Coach_BrettB), and Yann Le Meur (@YLMSportScience) often share interesting insights and useful resources.
Hope that helps add to the already great suggestions in this thread!

What should I include in my personal statement to show my interest in the course?
