"Studying for my degree in Sports Coaching and Performance made me believe in myself and I enjoyed every part of it, being part of such a wonderful network and campus increased not only my knowledge but my self-esteem, self-confidence and self-belief. Without doing this degree and having the support from all the tutors I would not be where I am today, within life or my business."
