Academic staff from the world-leading department of sport and exercise science presented a research carousel to FA Wales demonstrating the highly impactful work the team do. The work encompasses everything from supporting mental health in professional football; talent development and performance to prevent injury in female football and improving player welfare in football. The visit also offered the opportunity to update FA Wales on the developments of the North Wales Medical School and the extensive provision of coach and practitioner training that the university provides.

Head of School Professor Dave Richardson commented,
“Our research covers performance enhancement, mental health support, player development and player and athlete welfare across the men’s women’s and junior football, so the visit was a great opportunity to showcase our impactful work. We are keen to develop a more strategic relationship with the Football Association of Wales so that our work can help inform policy and practice.”
