Jack Mackinnon

With a strong academic foundation in sports and exercise science, I am passionate about the intersection of performance, technology, and data. My four years of study have equipped me with a deep understanding of human physiology, biomechanics, and athlete performance skills, which I aim to apply in the evolving field of sports data analytics. I have a solid background in athletics, particularly endurance running, culminating with my role as Cross Country captain in my final year of University. I also have experience working proficiently in Excel and have familiarised myself with R and python through online courses.

I am now actively seeking opportunities, whether through further education, internships, or entry-level roles that allow me to deepen my expertise in data analysis, performance monitoring, and applied sports science. I'm particularly interested in applying analytics to drive decision-making in athlete development, injury prevention, and team strategy, contributing to marginal gains in top-level sport.

• I have a passion for all forms of exercise, with a particular focus on endurance running. Over the past three years, I have represented Aberdeen University in road and cross-country events, serving as Cross-Country Captain in my final year. Most recently, I was awarded a Half Blues for my performance in the 5km event
