What do scholars have to say?

‘I love that the staff in my programme are highly skilled practitioners, this way we get to learn first-hand about their experiences working with different sports bodies such as the ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board). It makes the lectures feel more practical. I am in awe of my lecturers and quite inspired by their careers.’
