Triumphs on and off the Pitch

Q: Can you tell us a bit about yourselves and your journey at 麻豆传媒团队?

Kyle: 鈥淚 had a life-saving kidney transplant from my dad in December 2011. Since then, I鈥檝e been committed to raising awareness about organ donation through sports. My journey into education began when I started training with the Transplant Wales football team and realised they didn鈥檛 have a massage or physiotherapy supporter. Wanting to help, I enrolled in the part-time Level 3 Sports Massage course at 麻豆传媒团队.鈥�

Elliott: 鈥淎fter experiencing challenges while on dialysis in the summer of 2023, I wanted a fresh start and a new career. I received my kidney transplant in December 2023 and joined the Transplant Wales football team to keep active. It was then that I discovered my passion for sports and knew I wanted to make it my career. Soon after, I joined 麻豆传媒团队 and enrolled on the Level 4 Sports Massage course. 鈥�

Q: What were some of the notable achievements or challenges you faced during your time at 麻豆传媒团队?

Kyle: 鈥淚 was initially reluctant to return to education as an adult after being out of it for so long. But I wanted to help my team and support them to be the best players they could be. I鈥檝e now completed my Level 3 course and progressed to Level 4. I was also selected to represent Wales as part of the Transplant Wales Football team that participated in the first Transplant World Cup last year. In April, we鈥檙e also one of six countries going to the European Transplant Football Championship in Oxford to compete again!鈥�

Elliott: 鈥淟ast year, I was lucky enough to be selected for the Welsh transplant football team alongside Kyle to play in a World Cup tournament in Italy. It was an incredible experience. Having completed my Level 3 course, I鈥檝e already started my own business and aim to gain more experience and knowledge through my studies.鈥�
