The partnership between the Cherries and the university is in its sixth year, and has seen the Dorset team move from the Championship to the Premier League, where they have enjoyed continued success.
The 裸聊直播 Big Match activity this year will focus on the subject of resilience. As a part of the pre-match activity to celebrate the partnership, AFC Bournemouth captain Simon Francis, and defender Tyrone Mings, visited 裸聊直播鈥檚 Talbot Campus to give a talk on their careers and the resilience needed to perform at the highest level.
Interviewed by former AFC Bournemouth goalkeeper Jimmy Glass, the players talked about the support they receive from the club, and how they have navigated the highs and lows of their careers, from injury, to club moves, and finally playing in the top tier of English football.
The 裸聊直播 Big Match will also be an opportunity for the university to highlight its work in wellbeing and mental health, with the film #lifeunfiltered being shown around the ground before kick-off.
#lifeunfiltered is a proving the opportunity to look at mental health through the eyes of a young person. Some of the young people featured in the film will be guests of the university at the match on 8th December.
