🏆 Bridgwater College student crowned World Champion! 🏆

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate the outstanding achievement of Edward Watts, Level 3 Sport and Exercise Science student at Bridgwater College, who has been crowned World Champion in his weight class at the recent ABPU World Championships.

Edward delivered an exceptional performance, particularly considering he competed at the national championships just eight weeks ago. Since then, he has increased his total lift by an incredible 20kg, demonstrating the dedication, discipline and determination behind his rapid progression.

Edward’s championship-winning lifts were:

🏋️ Squat – 265kg | AWPC World Record
💪 Bench Press – 145kg | AWPC World Record
🏋️ Deadlift – 255kg
🔥 Total – 665kg | AWPC World Record

His 265kg squat is also recognised as the highest weight ever lifted in the UK for his age and weight category across all powerlifting federations.

To achieve multiple world records and become World Champion in his first year of competitive powerlifting is a phenomenal accomplishment.

Edward’s success is a brilliant example of what can be achieved through hard work, commitment and a drive to keep improving. Everyone at Bridgwater College is incredibly proud of Edward and we can’t wait to see what he accomplishes next. 👏

Congratulations, Edward! What an achievement! 🏆

🎓 From the classroom to campus: our Sport students experience university life!

Our Level 3 Sport and Exercise Science and Level 3 Sports Coaching Year 2 students recently visited Cardiff Metropolitan University for an exciting university experience day.

During the visit, students explored specialist sports science facilities and took part in practical sessions covering Biomechanics, Fitness Programming and Rehabilitation. Using advanced equipment and technology, they were able to see first-hand how sport science is used to analyse performance, support rehabilitation and develop effective training programmes.

The day also gave students the opportunity to speak with university staff, explore the campus and gain a better understanding of what studying sport at higher education level could look like.

For many students, the experience helped them think more seriously about their future options, with Jackson describing the visit as “eye-opening” and saying it had motivated him to explore university more seriously as his next step. Sofia also said the experience helped her further understand what her university journey could look like.

A huge thank you to Cardiff Metropolitan University for welcoming our students and providing such an engaging and inspiring experience. Experiences like this help connect classroom learning with the world beyond college and support our students as they consider their next steps. 💙
