The Trades Sport and Exercise programme really appealed to Neave, who plays representative hockey. “I thought the Trades programme would be a great way to learn about fitness and how it can be applied to what I do.”

For Neave, the practical nature of the programme is a real highlight. “I really enjoy going to the gym every week. It’s good to learn the theory of sport and exercise in the classroom and then apply it in the gym. I also like learning about fitness and healthy lifestyles and how different things can affect your training.”

Neave would definitely recommend the Sport and Exercise Trades programme to other students. She says the tutors are friendly and supportive and want to help students get the most out of the programme as possible.

While Neave isn’t sure what she’ll do once she finishes school, she believes that having the opportunity to attend Trades has been really worthwhile.
