À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
Archie James discusses his journey through ballet training to physiotherapy, reflecting on new knowledge and learned experience. Archie chats about what he wishes he knew as a ballet dancer, what he would have done differently, and changes that may encourage this in a pre professional environment such as in sports psychology. We look at potential routes into physiotherapy for dancers, and the application process, as well as the merits of a background in dance. Importantly, we focus on the personal development involved in stepping away from ballet, in critical thinking, research, evaluating information, autonomy, and mindset, ultimately advocating for more science integration into ballet training for empowerment.
