Hello, my name is Joe, I'm in my second year of study, and I'm doing an undergraduate degree of Sports and Exercise Science.
One of my defining moments at uni has definitely been using the facilities at the university. I'm always in the laboratories doing big practicals with my friends. I'm really enjoying this professional environment working in the labs, wearing all the kit, using all this professional equipment, blood lactate testing. All that stuff I've found really, really interesting and it's definitely made me think about going into that in the future.
A defining moment I had was an organised trip to India. We went over there to do some community work, a bit of learning at the university itself. One of the main stand-out moments was we played a massive football game. It was our Leeds Beckett students versus the ISMS students and that was a real massive icebreaker between us and the Indian students, and we made a lot of good friends from that. Leeds won, Leeds won.
A great experience from the basketball team was in my first year. We'd had a really great season but we had the final game against Hull University, and they were undefeated for the season. It was a huge game for us as we had to get the win and luckily we managed to come through, a super intense game. It was really fun, but it brought us all really close together and it was a huge win, went out and celebrated after and that was a massive moment for me in first year.
