BUCS/DELOITTE LEADERSHIP ACADEMY SET FOR SECOND SEASON
Age: 25 Sport: Judo Dan Grade Level: 2nd Dan Training: In the University of Bath Judo Dojo coached by Juergen Klinger Gold medallist
Under-70kg A graduate of Environmental Science at Bath Spa University, Fletcher began Judo training as early as 1994. Joining Team Bath in July 2007, she trains at the University of Bath Judo Dojo.
Last year saw the launch of an exciting three-year partnership between British Universities & Colleges Sport and Deloite, which aims to combine the expertise of both organisations in order to deliver a high-quality leadership programme to student athletes and sport volunteers across the UK. Following the inaugural and highly impactful BUCS/
Deloite Leadership Academy (BDLA) in 2013, plans are in place to significantly expand the programme’s reach and create a number of tangible resources which will comprehensively improve the leadership training university sports club commitees are able to provide to their members. One of these is the much anticipated toolkit, a development tool that emphasises how students can best utilise the skills gained on a university commitee in front of a potential employer. The resource will be an interactive project that will be made available to all students who engage with the programme throughout the academic year. Commenting on the year two programme, Liz Coombs, Head
of Talent Brand at Deloite, said: “We are extremely excited to build on the success and impact of last year’s activity and are currently working closely with some of our BDLA graduates to tailor a year two programme that equips students with leadership skills that will be invaluable both in their sporting roles and further afield in their professional lives.”
