What they say

The experience from start to finish for us as parents and for our son was second to none. A professional, knowledgeable, friendly and conscientious team led by Dafydd meant that my son felt prepared and fully confident to go away for the week even though he didn’t know any other players attending. We are now committing to the next phase with This Athlete so that they can support our son along the next phase of his footballing journey to play and study in America.

I just wanted to say a big ‘thank you’ for what has been an immense experience for Luke. He had a fantastic time and it has really helped to open his eyes to what the US Universities have to offer. He loved the soccer training sessions, scholarship recruitment camps, and getting to know lots of different people. A huge thank you to you and the team for making it possible, and for such a well organised trip.

Rachel B Parent
What a trip! Rob hasn’t stopped talking about what an amazing week he has had. He sent me a text when he was out there telling me he didn’t want to come home, which says it all. He has come back truly inspired for the next stage of his career! Thank you again for everything.

Miles F Parent
I had the most incredible time travelling to North Carolina with This Athlete. Everything was brilliantly organised from start to finish. Dafydd, Sophie, Joe and John were all so knowledgeable, helpful and professional throughout. I loved having the opportunity to visit different colleges across the state, meet coaches, and learn more about the systems in place.
