After graduation, I want to be able to continue to teach and research my favourite topics surrounding sport science, both in sociology and management. I also hope to translate my research into practice, influencing policies to improve the life conditions of my home region and contribute to its overall development.
The international recognition of Loughborough University will really give me a competitive advantage when I start looking for a job after my PhD. At Loughborough I have learned, and I continue to learn, what excellence means. I can now definitely see a clear path for myself to achieve excellence.
My advice to those applying for a PhD is to show your passion, to really say what motivates you and why you are the best person to undertake that specific topic. You will build the competence to move forward in your PhD during your time here, but your passion and commitment are really the base foundations of your involvement and are the key to a successful PhD journey.
