Ramsell, a final-year BSc (Hons) Sports Science student was selected to take on the coaching role after seeing it
advertised on the Sport England website.<br /><br />Based at the renowned <a href="http://www.bishamabbeynsc.co.uk/" title="Bisham Abbey">Bisham Abbey</a>, one of <a href="https://www.sportengland.org/" title="">Sport England</a>'s national sports centres, Tom spent eight hours a week working alongside coaches and assessors of England Hockey. <br /><br />The
former student of The Grange School in Aylesbury said: "I'm passionate
about sport and was excited when I saw a chance to work with England
Hockey advertised. My job is to assist the Coaching Officers and the
Regional Administrators in organising and carrying out assessment days
to help aspiring hockey coaches progress through the coaching badges.<br />
"I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to work alongside
experienced professionals and learn important on-the-job skills that
will benefit my career after I graduate."<br /><br />Tom, who is part of an initiative run by Bucks New University known as the <a href="http://bucks.ac.uk/content/newsroom/2014/Sport_Mentoring" title="Sport Mentoring">Business of Sport Mentoring Programme</a>,
was supported in his internship application by his mentor Tom Baker,
the Commercial Partnerships Director at UK Sport, and the English
Institute of Sport.<br /><br />The programme, developed with the University's <a href="http://bucks.ac.uk/learningandteaching/alumni/careers-employability/" title="Careers & Employability">Careers and Employability Service</a>,
enables students such as Tom to be mentored by high-profile sports
figures, including Paralympic gold medallist Naomi Riches MBE.<br /><br />Paul
Morgan, Head of Sport at the University, said: "An internship at Bisham
Abbey is a fantastic opportunity for Tom to consolidate
his learning and gain an insight into working at one of the UK's most successful national governing bodies. I understand that Tom has also recently been offered the chance to extend his role further working full time until he commences his MSc Strength & Conditioning in September which is a credit to him."<br /><br /></div>

From the USA to Bucks: "I wasn't sure if I was being brave or just crazy!"<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">This September, I graduated high school,
turned 18 years old, and moved from the USA to England all in just a few short
weeks. At first I wasn’t sure if I was being brave or just crazy! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">It turns out that making the decision to
come study here at Bucks has been no less than a life-changing experience thus
far. I’ve been given the amazing opportunity to study a course I love,
internationally, while playing a sport I’m passionate about (football) in its founding
country. I am in Sport and Exercise Science here at Bucks and I could not be
more interested in all the things we’re learning. The course is very focused,
and we have been given hands-on experience right from day one. The equipment in
our lab is amazing, and as if it weren’t good enough already, Bucks is
generously funding the construction of an even bigger lab to be built for next
year! <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Bucks is particularly good at combining
sport with academia, so that it’s easy for students to get active and play
sport while studying. I play for Reading Football Club as well as the
University team, and Bucks has made it possible for me to play at a world-class
level with Reading while continuing my education. We train every day (sometimes
twice a day), and getting to and from training is made easy for us. I am very
thankful that Bucks is supporting us to train every day and improve our skills,
on and off the pitch.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">We’ve also been given opportunity to get
involved in some outside experiences with coaching. Bucks’ connections with the
Wycombe Wanderers and Berks & Bucks FA is a very useful link for us as
prospectus students of sport. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Thankfully, we’re not <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">all </i>business here at Bucks. Our University football team has been
doing exceedingly well in our league, and with that, comes celebrations. The
Students Union puts on great Wednesday nights and the team morale is always
high. We’re much like a family on Bucks FC, and this makes game and training
days highly anticipated. Bucks is also a very well-rounded university, so I’ve
made life-long friends from all kinds of different courses outside of football
as well. Life is great when you love the people you’re around!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">People
often ask me why I decided to come to England for University. Many young
English women look to go to America because they offer elite athletics to their
students. I know that the grass always looks greener on the other side of the
ocean, but Bucks offered me a better deal overall. I can play football at
a very elite level here, at the same time as attending university, just like at
home. But my degree is much more focused here, without a lot of off-topic
classes not relevant to my career choice. Some of my friends in the USA
are enrolled in classes such as, "French Literature", or "Intro
to Philosophy", which are fine and important topics...just maybe not for a
Sport Science student like me. Then, having such a "focused"
course means that there is a great savings in time and money. An
equivalent course in the USA would take four years, whereas I will be done in
three here at Bucks. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Looking back, my crazy/brave decision was
worth it. I couldn’t be happier with what I’m doing here at Bucks. It has been
an amazing experience so far and I look forward to my next two and a half years
here. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

fast approaching, the England women's team has returned to
Buckinghamshire New University for a weekend of fitness testing and
training in the University's <a href="http://bucks.ac.uk/forbusiness/facilitiesforhire/sport_fitness_centre/human_performance_lab" title="">Human Performance Laboratory</a>.</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEgQQEEEZPtlj7RMAeFO9KAWLCCa35QUx-1wvUAR-hGfyo39RnQO7XslojR1cf9yAD6bmBjjJdz7GjiNuCEYIsZcy9NeOpo4Tu0ytOAqRW83Y7rMeZ9SCFXj6D4SLuvtMrsPLuw30evdMwd3OlPs4wW6fuO6XjHAmsUEFtRH4dw35Fhpkw=" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="Bucks New University main" border="0" src="http://bucks.ac.uk/images/147913/2014/Bucks_New_University_main.jpg" style="border: 0px solid; margin-top: 10px;" title="England team train at Bucks" /></span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The national team, which originally undertook a series of fitness
testing sessions at the University in September last year, were once
again put through their paces by Human Performance Laboratory Manager
Gary Peters, his team of student helpers, and the England coaches.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">England Women's Touch (rugby) team Head Coach Samantha Phillips,
said: "The aim of retesting was not only to evaluate progress and
identify areas for further improvement, but also to ensure the girls are
on the right track to undertake the fitness demands that the Touch
World Cup will place on their bodies."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The World Cup, which will commence in April and is being held in
Coffs Harbour, Australia, will require the team to play three 40 minute
games per day for up to five days, and it is important that players'
fitness levels are monitored as the competition nears.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As well as fitness assessments, the squad of 20 players was also
given some helpful advice on training and performance by Bucks New
University's Mr Peters.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I gave the squad a short talk on three ergogenic aids to give them
some food for thought on aiding training and performance, and I also
held drop in sessions for their fitness programmes," he commented.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Renowned mental conditioning coach and Bucks graduate Richard Dean
delivered a presentation on sports psychology and also held individual
sessions with the squad members to discuss their mental preparation for
the tournament. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The University's helpers were BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science
student Cliff Service, and BSc (Hons) Sports Science and Coaching
Studies students Bobby Dickinson, Aquila Burgess and Ohio Orumen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The weekend concluded with a series of friendly games against Bucks New University's first XV. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Following the success of last year's 'Ageing, Physical Activity, Recreation and Well Being' Conference, the conference will run again with a new theme 'Reaching diverse communities' on <strong>11th June 2015.</strong> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last year's conference was held in the Gateway Building and attracted around 200 visitors. This
multi-disciplinary conference was hosted by Bucks New University, '<a href="http://bucks.ac.uk/research/research_institutes/idrics/idrics-projects/movers-and-shakers/" title="Movers & Shakers health and wellbeing initiatives in Buckinghamshire">Movers
& Shakers</a>' and the <a href="http://bucks.ac.uk/research/research_institutes/iserw/" title="Institute for Sport, Exercise, Recreation and Well-being">Institute for
Sport, Exercise, Recreation and Well-being</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The conference was held to raise awareness between policy-makers, the public and many older people who do not always fully
appreciate either the importance of physical activity and recreation in elders'
lives or the options available to deal with the process of ageing and wellbeing. There is an emerging body of knowledge available that suggests it is paramount to maintain an active lifestyle to avoid medical conditions and
counteract the effects of ageing. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Currently, 23% of the population in Buckinghamshire are 60 years and over and this percentage is expected to rise to 40% by 2026. In every continent people are living longer lives in the 21st century. Older people are predicted to make up 22% of the world population with an increase in each major sector of the globe by 2050.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As part of the conference activities, Movers & Shakers demonstrated initiatives and welcomed all members of the community - in particular older people who were wanting to find out more about ageing well and the Movers & Shakers health and wellbeing initiative.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Following the conference the organisers were invited by a publishing company (Cambridge Scholars) to compile the conference papers into an edited book with title 'Ageing, Physical Activity and Well Being'. The book will be available to the public in 2016. </span><br />
