What is your best memory/highlight of the course?

They gave talks about scouting, talent identification and the development at sport. They were really good and inspiring sessions.

My recommendation depends on the goals and ambitions of the candidate. I would suggest that only goal oriented, motivated and ambitious people who want to broaden their knowledge outside the classroom should take part.
