'I feel clearer on what I want. I would love to create more opportunities for girls and women in sport — especially in places like India, where it’s still not seen as a typical path. Coming to Bath helped me find my voice and believe in that goal.' — Chelsea Lewis, BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science with professional placement
