Luca is a 21-year-old sports journalism student, in his 2nd year at UCFB’s Wembley campus. His time at university, has provided him with the opportunity to have a placement at Dulwich Hamlet Football Club, one of the most exciting teams in non-league. You can often hear his voice on their radio commentary channel for both the men and women’s teams.
He was introduced to racing at a very young age by his father. He took him to many tracks around East Sussex, where he grew up, such as Goodwood, Brighton and Plumpton. More recently he has attended many of the top race days, such as the Cheltenham festival, York’s Ebor meeting and Champion’s Day at Ascot.
He is most looking forward to all the practical elements and workshops on the course, so he can develop skills such as interviewing, which he can transfer to his placement at Nick Luck Daily. He is also very excited to meet more people his age that are passionate about racing, and media and develop friendships throughout the process.
It’s safe to say squeezing my time working for the Nick Luck Daily Podcast is impossible to fit into one paragraph, but here goes. Within the space of 6 weeks, I ticked off 8 new racecourses, made countless connections, and to top it off co-hosted a live episode of the podcast on the track at Royal Ascot! Working alongside Nick, as well as Charlotte Greenway, is relentless, but could not have been a more enjoyable experience, and to whoever undergoes the placement next year, count yourself very lucky.”
