Leo Sinclair

Leo’s academic journey began with a BSc (Hons) in Sport and Exercise Science, where he made it a priority to seize every opportunity available. In his first and second years, he dedicated extensive time to working in the sport and exercise science labs. This hands-on experience not only deepened his practical understanding of exercise physiology and biomechanics but also laid a great foundation for his current Master’s studies.

By his third year, Leo had already stepped into the professional world, working full-time at PureGym as both a Personal Trainer and Online Coach. This role was pivotal in developing essential transferable skills; particularly in communication, client relationship management, and the confidence to lead large group sessions. It was here that Leo truly began to refine his coaching style and leadership presence.

Graduating with his degree opened new doors. Leo is now the BUCS Strength and Conditioning Coach at Marjon University, where he works with the rugby and basketball teams, as well as supporting the University’s sport scholars. His role involves designing and delivering performance-focused training programmes that enhance athletic development and reduce injury risk.

In addition to his university role, Leo also works with Plymouth Albion Rugby Club as a Return to Play (RTP) Coach, helping athletes rehabilitate and condition themselves back to peak performance. His focus on the conditioning aspect of rehabilitation ensures that players return stronger, more resilient, and ready for competition.
