CBBC programme All Over the Workplace recently spent three days at Town as two youngsters were given an insight into the world of professional football.
Chitua and Freya, who are both with academies, were followed by the show’s cameras as Mick McCarthy outlined to them what’s required to make it as a player as well as giving budding boss Chitua tips on what you need to become a manager.
They trained with U21s boss Mark Kennedy, were given tips by skipper Luke Chambers, Cole Skuse and Giles Coke and warmed up with the first team.
Andy Liddell, Town’s fitness coach, spoke to them about nutrition, while former Blues midfielder and one-time Northern Ireland boss Bryan Hamilton gave Chitua, who managed a side including Freya during a game at Portman Road, the benefit of his years in football.
"We are delighted with the programme and the access and help we got from Ipswich was fantastic,” said All Over the Workplace producer, Drew Ferguson.
The show, which is presented by Alex Riley and was broadcast on CBBC last week, can be found on the BBC iPlayer here.
