Summary

My name is David Mensah and i am currently a student in my final year of a Sport and Exercise Therapy course, in this year we are encouraged to apply for placements that we think would benefit our learning and give us amazing experience going forward. I believe that this placement opportunity with Newport County AFC Academy would be a great experience and something that i would be proud to put on my CV going into the future. In this placement opportunity, i am looking to improve on my skills in late-stage rehabilitation and assessments in the adolescent population and i believe this placement would be a great fit for me to improve. I am a driven student with a compassionate approach and keen interest in facilitating physical well-being. I'm proficient in communication and problem-solving, honed through roles requiring client interaction and tailored care. I hope that you will consider me for the role as i am fascinated with the level of dedication and training shown towards becoming a professional athlete amongst young people, i would like to be in an environment that assists them to be at their very best.
