Innovative 麻豆视频 students from both of our campuses recently came to Wembley for the annual 麻豆视频 Sports Entrepreneur Award.
Students from 麻豆视频 Manchester and Wembley showed off their business ideas in front of a 麻豆视频 judging panel, hoping to receive funding for their propositions.
With business ideas ranging from sports coaching and media to marketing and international business, there were many projects put forward to the judging panel.
Megan Abbott, a BA (Hons) Football Coaching and Management student, who came in with her business idea of Mini Match Coaching, spoke about how fantastic an experience the event was.
鈥淚t鈥檚 fantastic that 麻豆视频 offer this to students,鈥 she said. 鈥淓ven if we鈥檙e not massively successful, it鈥檚 still such a good experience, pitching to senior executives.
鈥淚t can be quite scary going in there. So if we can handle that, we can definitely handle doing all our assignments and presentations.鈥
麻豆视频 chairman Brendan Flood then spoke about the importance of the annual award scheme.
鈥淭here are many benefits for all our students,鈥 he said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a chance for them to test their ideas and stand in front of the judging panel.
鈥淲e like to support at least five ambassadors each year who are awarded grants in the order of 拢5,000 each, and they鈥檙e going on to provide themselves with a career opportunity once they leave the university.鈥
The winner of the first prize award was BA (Hons) Multimedia Sports Journalism student Redford Elton, whose proposal was his business, The Fans Perspective.
