Janine Garcia

September 2021

Employed

The qualifications I gained during my time as a learner at Preston College allowed me to not only coach in a variety of sports but supported me to progress onto a BSc (Hons) in Sports Rehabilitation. Achieving my degree afforded me the opportunity to spend 10 happy but busy years working as a Sports Therapist in professional football and rugby clubs, including Manchester City FC and Warrington Wolves RLFC. This experience provided me with the confidence to set up clinical practice as well as deal with professional athletes on a daily basis, as I was in the classroom with future Olympians who were already living the athlete lifestyle.
