Essex Sport student playing football
"Having the chance to be a part of the Essex women's football focus programme was a privilege. The programme gave me the opportunity to better my game through experienced coaching, make new friends, and still be able to focus on my degree. The schedule was sometimes challenging but allowed me to enjoy both football and the university lifestyle. Which was exactly why I came to university."
