As Loughborough has such a strong reputation for sport, I knew this would be a great place to fully focus on football. Using my prior experience coaching at a grassroots level, I have coached one of the Loughborough Women’s AU football teams.
Although I started out strong and was recognised for my ability, I sustained an ACL rupture and a meniscal root tear quite early into the season which required surgery. I am currently completing a year of rehabilitation, but I’m still determined to pursue football as much as I can.
I’m really grateful for the amount of academic support and expertise that’s been available to me whilst studying at Loughborough University, especially in supporting me with mitigating circumstances due to my injury.
