Last full day in Canberra! Can't wait to get to the warm, sunny beaches of Cairns! Today wasn't bad though, we had very interesting lectures all day. We had ones on coaching techniques, strength and conditioning, and finished with my favorite yet, biomechanics! I think I've found my dream job. The technicians test the performance of athletes using high speed cameras and other equipment to help the athlete improve technique and also determine how much power they are producing through a specific motion. One student working in the lab was a mechanical engineering student working on finishing up his sports engineering degree (such an awesome degree!!).
