Testimonials
As Head Teacher of a sports-loving school, I would like to thank the coaches and support team at Loughborough University for a successful Hockey Tour. We received elite-level hockey coaching from Jamie Cachia, Women's 1st XI Head Coach, and had the opportunity to meet and play with international student-athletes. Our stay at the Elite Athlete Centre Hotel was comfortable and we received an engaging talk and guided tour of the extensive sports facilities on campus from members of the Men's Hockey Team. Our visit showcased why Loughborough really is the number 1 University in the UK for sport. We saw and achieved a lot in such a short time!
Loughborough Sport and the team really looked after us, being on hand to show us around and help with any last-minute alterations. Accommodation and facilities were perfect, S&C, lecturers and catering were knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great time and would definitely be interested in coming back at some point. We had an excellent psychology workshop where the instructors were highly engaging and tailored their approach perfectly for our students. As a result, the students gained a more profound insight into teamwork and the various skills required for effective collaboration. This experience sparked introspective thoughts among the students, and conversations stemming from the workshop continued long after it concluded.
We had and outstanding week on campus. 34 pupils and 5 staff dedicating their time - 13 hours of training - S&C and Sprint sessions at Powerbase and National Performance Institute - Seminars in Nutrition, Culture and Psychology - Fuelling food from the Elite Athlete Centre. We feel fully prepared for the season ahead!
