Alongside my studies, I was an active participant in the University’s Coaching and Volunteering Academy, completing 75 hours across Loughborough Lightning Rugby, Derby FC under 23s, Schulz football, Loughborough indoor athletics, National Division 2 rugby and the Bucs Conference Final.
These placement and volunteering opportunities have improved my organisational skills, communication and team working abilities. It was a real highlight to interact with sports personalities and imbibing their dedication to their chosen fields.
Outside of my studies, I have also completed my certification in talent identification with the Professional Football Scouts Association (PFSA) and the Football Association (FA). These have aided my growth in the field of football as a sport and added to my credibility as a sports management professional.
