Watching live football matches
Watching a full football game is more than just an event. Whether it’s a breathtaking solo run, a perfectly timed pass or a spectacular goal, these magical moments are treasured and remembered by fans. Experiencing the action face to face is a different feeling. As someone that analyses most information, the experience of watching football matches will undoubtedly change, but the essence of the game and details behind every action has a meaning.
Additional Information
As an aspiring Sportsperson, I recently enrolled in the PFSA (Professional Sports Football Scouts Association) Scouting Programme, which is a platform that offers scouting courses.
I intend to take further educational venues from the "Barca Innovation HUB". It is an online platform that provides knowledge, tools and data to develop recent technological ways of approaching modern day sports. A course such as "Professional Diploma in Digital Marketing, Sponsorship and Communication in Sports" is one of the directions i may pursue.
In addition to that, I plan to take on a Masters in Football Business offered by the Johan Cruyff Institute come next year.
