I like my course because it covers a wide range of areas in sport so we can have many choices of career pathways. The teachers have a lot of connections which can also help us get into whatever area of sport we want to do in the future.

I am really into football and want to go into coaching as a career and the teachers are helping me get the qualifications I need for this.

There course has a good mix of practical elements that go alongside the theory and assignment work.
