DrEric Drinkwater

My research, teaching, and professional practice all relate to strength and conditioning practices for elite sports performance. I was a research scholar at the Australian Institue of Sport (Canberra) while completing my PhD through Victoria University. Professionally, I am an ESSA Accredited Sports Scientist (Level 2), an NSCA Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (with Distinction), and an AUSactive Exercise Professional (Level 3) to remain active as a sport scientist, strength & conditioning coach, and personal trainer. I was the inaugural course director for Deakin's Master of Applied Sport Science, and I am now a member of Deakin’s Centre for Sport Research (CSR) within the Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition (IPAN).
