Hello and Welcome

Thanks for making it onto my new blog site. In this post I just want to quickly introduce myself and the blog and the sort of things I will be writing about over the next few weeks/months.

First of all.....who am I?

My name is Jamie Pugh and I am a Sports Massage Therapist, a Strength & Conditioning Coach and a Sports Scientist. I am a Loughborough University graduate and current Swansea City afc intern.

Sport, fitness and health and my passions. I have been playing football since I could walk and have been competitively running for around 2 years, but if it invovles some sort of physical activity, I'm always up for taking part. As well as taking part, I love coaching, volunteering and just watching all things sport.

In terms of performance, the way the body works and the incredible things it can achieve fascinate me and I am always looking to learn about its complex functions and how they can change or be trained. I am not just talking about the elite end of the field. Top end athlete, average Joe rugby player or overwieght middle-aged man; all of these catch my interest and as such I find it enjoyable working with an array of people with a large range of goals.

In terms of the blog.....

as you can see at the top there is a page where you can read more about me and my qualifications and education. There is anothert page outlining the types of services that I offer and the advice I can give. There is also a page about guest writing for this blog. It is always great to learn from others and see things from other people's points of view and so I am always interested in posting guest articles.

The types of blog posts that you will find here will be a range of comments on some of the most recent news and research in the sports/fitness area including sports massage. I will also be blogging about some of my current clients who have kindly agreed to share their story for you tot track their progress.

That's all for now
