Ian Maatsen has hopes of getting a chance at Chelsea next season.
The fullback has just come off a successful loan with Championship title winners Burnley.
Asked what he'd learned, Maatsen told Chelsea's website: "I would say just growing as a player and a person, to work hard and be consistent, but also to learn from other coaches and other people around, like my team-mates, and people around the club.
"So I think in general I've learned a lot of things inside football but also outside, to just be a human being, have a dream and work hard for it every day. In the bad moments, when it goes a little bit not your way, to still do the same thing and to not be panicking about anything. Just try to be the best version of yourself every day.
"I had the time to enjoy the win and get my rest, but also I can't sit still at home so I'm always busy training or just doing stuff. So I've just been preparing myself for the next step, to be prepared for anything that comes my way.
"Also this year we've got the Under-21 Euros with the national team, so I'm preparing myself for that too. It's nice to play football for your country and I will come back to Cobham even more prepared, so it's good."
