I didn’t enjoy school that much, so moving over to College allowed me to have a fresh start. I chose this course because I was aware of the great facilities here and the excellent teaching. Studying Sport full-time has given me opportunity to focus on something I really care about rather than spending my time on subjects I wasn’t that interested in. The mix of theory and practical elements have helped me deepen my knowledge of the subject and improve my performance on the field too.
