Throughout my degree at Loughborough, I had the opportunity to be lectured by professionals that work in elite-level football. Their applied knowledge and experience is really valuable in understanding the skills needed to succeed in elite-level sport, and helped to prepare me to successfully undertake my current role.
The assignments were also extremely flexible in regard to the sport and topic chosen, which allowed me to focus on specific topics that I was highly interested in, and I am currently implementing what I learnt from these.
The best advice I could give to somebody studying on this programme is to engage as much as possible with the course, as it really gives you amazing opportunities. The opportunity to be so close to world-class academics and professionals is unique and precious, therefore take that advantage to grow and develop as a practitioner as much as possible.
