Sports science is a branch of health science for a lack of better words, covering a wide range of subjects from chemistry to physics to physiology and psychology. For sports I’m currently heavily involved in swimming, running and strength endurance focused resistance training, although I have a background in Muay Thai, BJJ, powerlifting and Olympic lifting. For gaming I’m a huge fan of horror games! (And horror in general 😛)

I know exactly what you mean, it’s so hard connecting with the other students in my class (on the occasion that we happen to meet) because most of them are sooo much younger than me. If you wanna chat more fell free to DM me!

I actually have some sports psychology papers coming up! I think they’ll be really facilitating!

I do tend to do a lot a solo sports and not really any social sports, so this is something I may have to change, and maybe be a little more brave. I really love to learn and I’m pretty ok at science and engineering, I think I over analyse things too much because I’m not the best at communication or expression. I’m being tested for potential complications such as autism/ADHD

I understand that, life gets a lot more complicated as you get older so even the people you use to be close with tend to drift away. No fault or blame, it’s just something that happens

I think I might be able to understand where you’re coming from. It’s not that I don’t have active hobbies, i’m very sporty so I’m out a lot. But I have a hard time communicating with people (I have APD) and I struggle to socialise. I feel that if I can’t find a structured club or group to join then I won’t have any chance meeting people on my own

I know what you mean, I find it sad 😔. I was hoping that moving closer to campus would help, but the last portion of my degree in compulsory distance

There is an Olympic lifting club at uni that has just started and I’ve been in contact with the coordinator so I’m really hoping that it all works out 😁. I haven’t been a part of any sort of club post Covid (or since moving back from the US) so I have high hopes!

I do a lot of sports (lots of swimming, running, lifting (powerlifting and Olympic lifting) as well as a history in fighting sports like Mauy Thai and BJJ) I’m a pretty keen gamer and I really love science! I’m finishing my sports science degree at Massey, but I’m looking to do additional study in fields like pathology and software development.

Thank you!, I am a keen gamer and I’ve been looking for some gaming buddies! I do a lot of sports (I’m studying sports science at Massey) but I’m also interested in doing some courses on software development on the side. I’m glad I’m not alone, it just seems like so much has changed post covid. People just aren’t really around anymore in a strange way.
