Jonathan Holland joined the team for a month long programme during January and has fitted in fantastically. Jonathan has come all the way from Australia for the experience, leaving behind the heat of down under, to come and see what football in the UK is like.
Earlier today James, spoke with Jonathan about his stay and this is what he had to say
"I have enjoyed mostly everything about being here, the new experience, the training, the level of play, the everyday lifestyle, the people here and challenging myself against the older players. i really like this course and and the intensity of the training. we are assessed individually through tests and constant monitoring and i was able to gain feedback on performance. i like the whole experience of having football as my daily life and training everyday. And what a highlight watching the EPL games against Arsenal and Burnley. I have just loved the whole thing, I'd love to come back to do the full year course"
" I have learnt many things both on and off the pitch in my time here. Not only the skills and tactics, such as pressing, which we don't do back home, but in the lectures and lessons i have learnt about nutrition and flexibility to improve my game"
"life here in England has been very enjoyable, I have made many friends both on the course and outside of the course. I came to England and to the course to improve my football, play at a higher level and gain experience in another country. my idea to come to come here has been a big success and a very big accomplishment for me"
James ward, course leader and coach commented to us about Jonathan:-
"Jonathan has been a pleasure to have here in England for the short time he has been able to stay. he is keen and eager everyday to better himself which makes him very coachable and means he can develop quickly. in his time here he has developed a great deal with his fitness, skill and understanding of the English game. he has great understanding of everything we have worked on, but more importantly is a great lad to have around the place. We wish him all the best for his future and just hope to see him back here for the full year course, what an asset to the course and the team that would be."
Well done to Jonathan from everyone here in Bolton and the whole Bolton Wanderers & Edukick team, it's been an absolute pleasure to have you here, keep up the good work!
Throughout the year on our football studies programme we have many opportunities for players and students from all over the world to join the group for short courses, just like Jonathan has. this can give an insight into the course, English life and English football and is an experience of a lifetime.
