About This Programme:
Based: London
Cecil Jee Thomas, a former apprentice with Crawley Town, focuses on the importance of understanding yourself and developing yourself in and out of football. In a two-way workshop, he uses his own journey through challenging industries to highlight the transferable skills from football that helped him to become the poster boy for the prestigious Italia Conti dance academy, amongst his other showbiz commitments, which include presenting for AFTV. Talent Transfer opens the minds of academy players into understanding what they can achieve both during and after their own football career. Cecil encourages apprentices to explore new interests by using real life stories and examples of other players who have become successful in more places than just football.
