Charlotte enjoyed every minute of her sports and football course at Redbridge, so much so that she’s taken her sports studies on to the next level…

Name: Charlotte Lynch
Institution: Redbridge College
Course: National Certificate in Sport with Football

I have always enjoyed playing sports from a young age and thought it would be fun to incorporate it into my education. I enrolled at Redbridge College in 2007 on a National Certificate in Sport with Football.

All my tutors were really helpful and offered me help whenever I needed it, and I felt comfortable enough to ask them. The course helped me to learn about teamwork, improve my communication and organisational skills.
 
I thoroughly enjoyed the module in sports massage and sports psychology. We always applied our theory to the practical sessions and it really made the theory come to life. I am currently in my second year of university and play for Barking Ladies football team. I hope to become a Physical Education teacher in the future.
 
I would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in sports, as the course is thoroughly enjoyable and is a stepping-stone to higher education and university. While on the course don’t be afraid to ask for help, the tutors are always there to support and assist you.

Redbridge College also provides a great enrichment programme, where you can take part in a range of activities unrelated to your course on a Wednesday afternoon. It helps you to make friends and enjoy a range of other activities, like basketball, choir, DJ skills and many more. I was able to sing at many college events and currently work with the college choir.
