Kickboxing Club: Welfare Officer

In these two terms, the kickboxing club has made me feel so welcome. Despite being new, I have experienced an inclusive environment, with highly supportive committee members. I would love to help foster a similar environment for the next academic year. 

I also understand the importance of both physical and mental well-being in sports, I want to ensure that everyone in the club feels comfortable and able to enjoy training to the fullest! Kickboxing has been a fantastic experience for me, and I would really like to make sure it is for everyone else as well. 

University life is stressful. You need to go for lectures, study for 2957048 tests, meet your personal tutor, clean your room, do laundry... And that doesn't even include all the friends you want (need) to catch up with, plus the Kickboxing training sessions (and socials) that you've (very enthusiastically) signed up for.  So, while we're all struggling (me included) with these things (and various others), I'm willing to put in the extra effort to ensure that some of these things (okay, at least one - Kickboxing) takes the load off your shoulders, and help in whichever way I can. While I cannot guarantee that I can help with your schoolwork, I will strive to contribute to the club in such a way that during our sessions - and outside of them - your welfare is taken care of to the best of my abilities. Having had mental health support training, I am uniquely equipped to help with such matters, and am absolutely willing to take time out of my day to be your listening ear (especially when John is too hard on you). Whether it's relationship issues (or lack thereof), upcoming tests, financial matters, or just life in general - I'll be there to listen and, if needed, signpost you to the necessary resources. I aim to always have your welfare in mind, so vote for me - and then go touch some grass (but only after you've voted). 

(Also, go drink some water. And do some pushups.)
