While studying at Swansea University, the Sports Scholarship allowed me to pursue two career paths simultaneously. I fondly remember my time at Swansea and particularly a Varsity win. In the future, knowing a career in sport doesn’t last forever, I won’t rule out returning to further my qualifications.
