Our young Academy prospects were recently put through their paces by The Army Football Association as they learnt more about the organisation.
The apprentices attended an excellent workshop hosted by Lee Fraser as he spoke to the squad about the huge range of careers and higher education that the Army offers alongside playing football around the world.
He cited professional players that have managed to forge careers doing both! Whilst stories were also told of top Olympic athletes that still work within the military services.
Overall it was a great experience for the players, which culminated in them partaking in lots of team building activities, including agreeing on a team acronym: POWER
Perseverance
Ownership
Workrate
Endeavour
Relentless
We wish to thank The Army Football Association for hosting the workshop and look forward to collaborating with them again in the future.
