​How have you settled into life at Gloucester? How have the academics, accommodation, and student life been thus far?

“I have settled well into life at Gloucester. I was happy to have in-person classes again. The personal tutor provided a lot of activities for us to get to know each other which was amazing and really helped the process of getting to know everyone in the Sports Business Management Course.

​The accommodation seemed a little small at first but then after time you get used to it and get to meet a lot of new people. I have made a lot of friends from my class and my accommodation who I hangout with almost everyday.”

Tell us a little about your academic course - what you are studying? what has been of interest? what classes have been like for you?

"I am studying Sports Business Management. The sports module has been of huge interest to me because we talk a lot about how we define sport. Classes have been very demanding but at the same time very informative."

​How has the training been going for you? What have you learned? What do you need to work on? What has surprised you?

"Football life is great as you get to practice a lot and there is a lot of emphasis on the individual which leads to personal benefit. The training has been intense and hard in the cooler weather but very good. 
​

I have learned a lot more about myself and what I need to work on, such as my off ball positioning. I have been surprised by the facilities, they are very good for football.”

Tell us a little about the first game you played in England. How did you find it and was it what you expected?

"The first game was challenging because we haven't played as a team much and there wasn't much chemistry at first. We grew into the game and took a 2-0 lead but we let the other team begin to take control, and we eventually ended up in a draw."

Have you had the chance to visit any places since you have been there?

“I had the chance to visit London and Bath which were beautiful.” ​

We wish you the best for the rest of the term, Zach and we can't wait to watch you grow on and off the pitch!
