Why did you choose Kidderminster College and what did you like about studying here?

I think the balancing of the football and the education appealed to me, and I think that the foundation degree I was doing, if I wasn’t gonna go down the football route, then I could use that on an educational point of view.

What has been your proudest moment or biggest achievement in terms of your education?

Probably getting my exam results back; getting a merit merit, it means obviously my exams are done for the year and now I can just focus on my coursework.

What advice would you give our current students/ potential students about getting into the industry?

I definitely think it’s a good industry to get into. I think it’s benefited me, and I’ve learnt a lot in the sporting industry and it’s knowledge that I’ll take on and I’ll use for the rest of my life.

What’s been your biggest challenge?

I think keeping on top of the coursework is hard, but obviously with the support of the tutors and the resources, I think if you work hard then you can keep on top of it.

What does a typical day look like?

For me, I would start by having my training session. After having my training session, I would come over to the academy and catch up on any lessons I’ve missed or go onto a lesson I’m about to do, and have conversations with the tutors about the work that needs to be done and what I can do to better my work.

What do you love most about the industry?

Probably the people that I meet along the way. I think I’ve met a lot of friends doing this course and a lot of people who I will keep in contact with.
