Recent Events
Recently completed all taught components of a masters in Sports Physiotherapy.
This year was Fraser’s 5th year of working with the GB basketball team This year was a challenge as not only did they have the 2011 Eurobasket Championships, but in the lead up to this was their preview competition in their 2012 Olympic venue.
Here the venue was on show to the select few that snatched up the tickets.
The GB team unfortunately got knocked out early on in the competition but not without winning in style against Poland (ranked 18 places ahead of Britain) that does not affect their 2012 standing.
Fraser has been the Great Britain Basketball Head Physiotherapist for the past 5 years, a role that has seen him develop individual athletes both over the summer during the international season and their domestic club season over the winter.
Frasers next two summers will be spent working with the team as they face some tough competitions; the European Championships in Lithuania, August 2011 and next year when they head to the London 2012 Olymipics.
This role has expanded into combining his knowledge from a first degree in sports & exercise science with his delivery of elite level rehabilitation to ensure the Olympic calibre athletes remain injury free and at optimum performance levels all year round.
This knowledge is also utilised at the clinic through working closely with individual athletes and teams sports ranging from challenge cup level rugby league to super-league & international netball.
In the past Fraser has worked with international athletes such as the GB handball team, European athletics at the European indoors, GB Volleyball team and future athletes attending On Camp with Kelley or GB futures athletes.
He is also a confirmed non coffee drinker but can be frequently spotted with a full cafetiere and an empty plate of crumbs.
