Hayley Legg is a Strength and Conditioning Consultant and Coach, PhD Candidate, Senior Lecturer at St Mary’s University and Provincial director for the NSCA in Saskatchewan.
Hayley currently lectures on the MSc Distance Learning Course as she is now based in Canada. Prior to moving she had taught on the undergraduate S&C and Sport Science programs.
As an athlete herself, Hayley played Rugby for Richmond Women and was involved in the Scotland Women’s set up. Hayley also played 7’s and represented GB Students at the World University Games.
It was this experience in Rugby that started Hayley’s interest in Strength and Conditioning, where she started her career in the performance environment before more recently moving towards working a wider population and specifically older adults.
In this episode we discuss:
- Hayley’s sporting background and her career path
- Experience of S&C as a youth
- Positives and negatives of being a female S&C coach in a male environment
- What makes ‘best person for the job’ – the best person for the job?
- Equity and Equality differences in the hiring process
- The importance of mentorship and the different ways mentorships can present themselves
- The benefits of working with an older population
