I've really found it useful, really , really good!I know it sounds textbook but when its coming from someone you can relate to it just reinforces it a lot more.

Yeah awesome!That's exactly how I'd expect it to go....Firstly I enjoyed it. How long have we been talking for? 45 minutes has flown by.

Aquile took time & care to support the rugby education programme players at Coventry College throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. His knowledge and understanding around the topic area of mental health and wellbeing was outstanding and the students thoroughly enjoyed the advice and support provided.
