Freddie Bearfield

Confident, social, and independent are three words I would use to describe myself. I believe these characteristics stemmed from my early introduction to Braintree Rugby Club, where I started playing at the age of 5 and have continued to the present day, gaining numerous skills and achievements, such as winning the Essex County Finals and reaching the semi-finals of the Eastern Counties Cup. Through years of competitive experience, I have developed strong abilities in teamwork, discipline, and strategic thinking. While most of my passion for sport remains with rugby, I have also taken an interest in a more tactical approach to leadership. Last summer, I created, managed, and played within a 6-a-side football team, where we placed second in our first season. This experience allowed me to build skills in coordination, leadership, and accountability. Alongside my passion for sport, I also take great pride in my academic and personal development. During secondary school, I served as a prefect, planning events such as the school prom, and worked as a mentor for students needing additional guidance and support. I am now seeking to transfer these leadership, teamwork, and organisational skills into a professional setting, where I am committed to working hard, learning continuously, and making a positive contribution to any opportunity I am given.
