Profile
Biography
Louis was appointed as a Lecturer in Sport, Rehabilitation and Exercise Sciences at the University of Essex in June 2021, having previously held positions at Edge Hill University, University of Cumbria, and St Mary’s University. Prior to joining academia, Louis worked as a Strength and Conditioning coach for a London based university, supporting national and international athletes as part of the university’s student-athlete scholarship and performance sport programmes. Between this role and his private practice, Louis helped prepare athletes for numerous elite competitions including the British Athletics Championships, European Athletics Championships, Pan American Games, Commonwealth Games, and Olympic Games. Louis is an accredited Strength and Conditioning coach with the U.K. Strength and Conditioning Association. To date, Louis has published extensively with over 30 peer-reviewed journal articles and two book chapters, along with a Ph.D. investigating compensatory movement strategies derived from ankle dorsiflexion mobility restrictions.
