Logan Biccum

What education have you taken?

I will be graduating in May with a Physical Education degree within the Exercise Science and Fitness stream.

What accomplishments are you proud of?

 An accomplishment I am proud of is playing 6 years of basketball as a Bobcat while completing this degree. During this time, I have received the Tracy MacLeod Inspirational award, the BIRT Cup scholarship and two Academic All-Canadian awards.

Give a brief bio about yourself/ your background/ your history.

I am 23 years old and grew up in Virden, Manitoba. Coming from a small town, I developed a passion for sports as I had the opportunity to learn and play all of them! I have spent many spring breaks skiing in Fernie, B.C. which is one of my favourite places to relax and have fun with family and friends. Now that I will be graduating, I am looking forward to pursuing physiotherapy as my career.

How did you become interested in your field of study?

Being a sports fanatic, I have always been interested in fitness, rehabilitation and anatomy. I knew the physical education program and eventually physiotherapy, was what I wanted to do.

What is your philosophy in life?

My philosophy in life is “everything happens for a reason”.

Where do you see yourself in the future?

In the future, I see myself living in a rural area and working as a physiotherapist. I plan to continue to stay active through playing sports and hope to travel more.
