Personally, I found the course played a massive part in me retaining my World Title. Being able to train and spend time with like-minded athletes (students and tutors) made the course very enjoyable. I would recommend this course to any athlete who is looking to continue to progress in their sport. I felt the course was beneficial as I was able to focus on my training and fit it in with my studies at college.
