Proud to be Staffs Story: Isobel Lodge - Conditioning Coach Staffordshire Scarlettes

Student | School of Justice, Security and Sustainability

"I chose Isobel to be our conditioning coach last summer, she has gone above and beyond to learn the ins and outs of strength and conditioning for our cheerleaders. She has bought books, watched endless instructional videos, asking each coach what they would like their athletes to achieve and tailoring conditioning, strength and stretching plans to make sure the whole team is on track. She leads every warm up and has really thrown herself into this role, being a volunteer is hard when you have major responsibility but I am so proud of Isobel and the way she is always wanting to learn more. I sent Isobel some CPD by the British cheerleading association to book onto a course to learn more to help the team - and she signed up straight away. The dedication and the ability to understand the ways in which strength, flexibility, adaptation for injuries and core conditioning can positively impact our sport doesn’t just help the coaches - it helps everyone on our team. It’s a real demonstration of passion when given a role that you can really make your own. This is why I am proud of Isobel! "
