Due to the flexibility of his course he managed to sustain his full- time role as well as continuing to be the Head Academy coach at Leeds United Football Club where he coaches and the Head of Youth Development at his local football club.

Hide AdLee says he needed the HE qualification in order to gain further knowledge and understand the underpinned theory behind his teaching. He says due to this course: “I have changed dramatically over the 2 years. The way I teach, see different things and how I plan.”
During his training he won the Higher Education Most Inspirational Student Award for his outstanding work running the scholarship programme with FC Halifax Town.
According to Lee, “as an individual you have to make yourself the best you can be”.
