One of the key reasons for choosing the FdSc course at SMB College Group was the opportunity they provided to study a sports science degree while still being able to play football alongside it.

This means I have the chance to carry on my football development while also learning new skills in the degree course and trying to gain work in the sporting industry

When starting the course, I was struggling with my academic writing and  being critical. My tutors would support me by explaining the ways to write in a more academic style alongside showing example work. They then would set small tasks which would focus on this area as well as marking and providing feedback on this.

This course has provided a wide range of modules which relate to the sporting industry. As a result, I have been able to gain insights into how each industry works alongside the development of new skills which are required for each area. Therefore, I have been able to find what areas of the sporting industry are the most interesting to me and where I would like my future to go.
