Testimonial
-
“The overall experience brought my team together in a much closer way as we did what we all loved, but away from home together. My future plan is to go to university to study on a Strength and Conditioning course, to pursue my goal of becoming a professional trainer. I now know that I can live away from home and support myself.”
-
“Students trained at a local Spanish academy and learned different ways to play and understand football. The Spanish style is far more technical than the English style of play so the knowledge complemented the group’s skills set. The group spent time on both the pitch and in the classroom, and developed their teamwork and communication skills whilst becoming much closer friends.”
