My Personal Profile
I am Alicia Reynolds, a Year 12 student at All Saints College. By studying at All Saints College I have been able to study a Certificate 3 at TAFE in Sport Science and Nutrition, whilst in Year 11 and I am currently studying a Certificate 4 in Sports Science at TAFE while completing general subjects in English, Math, and Biology at school. I am also currently completing my Gold Duke of Edinburgh which provides me with extra credits for my WAIS certificate at the end of my schooling. This pathway is my preparation for further study at University once I complete my schooling.
I currently have a part-time job in my chosen field of study. I work for “Kidz in Sport” as a sports trainer with pre-primary aged children. I love teaching children how to play sport and my enthusiasm for sport is my greatest strength. My job has helped me to develop my confidence and skills in communication and relationship building. I hope to use this experience throughout my life in both my sporting career and later as a teacher and coach.
I am also currently involved in an elite sports program outside of school. This program is helping me to develop my skills in the sport of Cycling. As part of this process I am currently representing Western Australia in Triathlons at a National level. I have also represented Australia in World Cup events overseas in the field of Cyclocross. I hope to one day progress my sporting achievements to the very highest level, representing my country at the Olympics in Cyclocross. To achieve my goal I need to train up to 15 hours per week in cycling, running , gym work and recovery. I have to learn how to eat properly and I need to manage my mental preparation with the help of a Sport Psychologist.
I have had to learn how to maintain balance in my life. This means that I still play the Piano and Flute and perform at concerts when I have the opportunity. I am also involved in community service through school and outside of school. I have volunteered over the summer at the “Swim for Refugees” community group as a swim instructor. I am also currently preparing to attend the Teach Learn Grow service tour in Fitzroy Crossing this July. This program assists children in remote Aboriginal schools with their reading and school attendance. I also try to rest and spend time with friends from school and outside of school.
At school I am currently in a leadership role as House Captain. This is providing me with valuable experience to lead my peers and to present myself in public forums. I am enjoying learning about myself through becoming a leader.
What’s Next?
After graduating year 12 I am planning to study at a university in 2026 taking up a couple of units involving Sports science and Primary school sports teaching. I plan to go back to Europe to do more blocks of racing and hopefully compete in the World Championships for cyclocross in February 2026. I’m excited for what’s next but my main focus is on enjoying my last year at school with my peers, as well as pushing myself with training and racing.
