“The Career Related Studies in International Sport Management (CRS, ISM) is really the perfect combination of me passion for sport and my interest in business. I have a big sporting background and I naturally took this course to learn more about international sport management, but also because it gives me a competitive advantage when applying for universities.”

“Athletes benefit from being part of the school environment, interacting with other students and learning with their peers. They bring all their training mindset, focus and resilience to inspire and motivate the other students. The school culture is enriched and teachers and students all benefit. The support for schools to grow their knowledge and understanding of what elite athletes need is very important and helps schools think about why their current policies and procedures have been set up and how they might change. The opportunity to have supportive independent advice and feedback for a school’s operations is valuable and rare. Schools want their students to succeed, and that is what the AFEC project is all about.”
