Galo Hernandez

I was an international student from Colombia who completed his BSc in Sport and Exercise Science at Coventry University in 2023. I have 1.5 years of experience in both Strength and Conditioining and research roles.

I have been working with netball teams in England as an Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach for 1.5 years. The goal of this job is to increase athletes' athleticism whilst reducing the risk of injury.

Furthermore, I have worked as a Research Assistant at Coventry University. Herein, I have collaborated in research projects that have:
1) Assessed the feasibility of a movement and story-telling intervention delivered by reception teachers to improve fundamental movement and language skills in pre-school children. Specifically, I assessed children's fundamental movement skills using the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-3) and collaborated with other staff to input results in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

2) Evaluated the effectiveness of a badminton intervention to improve functional fitness in older adults. Herein, I assessed older adults' functional fitness before and after a 6-week badminton intervention.


I was a professional rock climber for 8 years before studying Sport and Exercise Science at Coventry University. My highest accomplishment was competing in the Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018 where I ended in 12th place.

As part of my hobbies, I like spending my time salsa dancing and climbing.

I hope that my background demonstrated my proficiency in Spanish, which is my native language, and English, which is my second language. I am looking forward to meeting you.
