Stephen Sarkodie

After completing an Extended Diploma in Sport (Football) at Hartpury College, Stephen progressed to study BSc (Hons) Sports Business Management and MSc Sports Management at Hartpury University, alongside working as a store manager at Adidas. He aspires to play football professionally and pursue a leadership role within the sport industry.

"Playing for the Right to Dream Academy in Ghana developed my passion for playing professionally. If this doesn't work out, my studies at Hartpury have provided me with all the knowledge and skills to work in leadership, which I already apply in my side job and can apply inside and outside of football. When you come to Hartpury, it's not just about football. It's about stepping into a family where people accept you, regardless of your differences. Staff ensure that you achieve while helping make your dreams come true."
