I was raised in Caledon and have always been passionate about sport. I am a keen supporter of the local sports club and have been practicing my skills as a hockey player over many years. I was awarded the Young Achiever’s Award during my course at the ETA (Exercise and Training Academy) in Bellville.


t


An internship would not only benefi t my own skills development, but would also add value to the development of our young sportsmen and women.


I look forward to hearing from you. My personal contact details have been provided in my CV. I am available to come for an interview.
