Former football coach and manager, Mark Warburton, delivers an engaging and inspiring speech to CONEL students.

Students and staff at The College of Haringey, Enfield and North East London (CONEL) welcomed former football manager and coach, Mark Warburton. The former manager and coach of Brentford Football Club, QPR FC, Rangers Football Club, Nottingham Forest FC, and West Ham United FC, visited the Enfield Centre on 25 January to speak to students from Business and Sports courses.

Mark delivered an engaging talk to around 50 students, beginning with his early life and experience of schooling. He spoke in detail about his extensive career, which traverses both football and business and offered insights into the worlds of financial markets and elite football.

Mark’s valuable perspectives on his upbringing coupled with his description of his achievements both on and off the pitch were highly motivating for students, underscoring the potential for success in their chosen fields.

Following his talk, there was a Q&A session where students and staff had the opportunity to ask Mark more about his life and experience.

The visit was organised as part of the ongoing partnership between Enfield Borough FC and Capital City College Group’s (CCCG) Sports Academies. The event was designed to motivate students and highlight the relevance of transferable skills for a successful career.

CCCG’s Football Academy allows players to train in state-of-the-art facilities, including a 3G sports pitch, gym and sports hall. Players are also provided with training, support, guidance, coaching and professional work experience opportunities.
