Education Resources

Careers in Sport is the ‘go-to’ educational website for young people to learn the diverse careers and jobs available in the industry and gain insight from leading professionals and organisations.

Competition to secure employment in the sports industry is as intense as the competition we witness between professional sports people on television. The gold medalist or goal scorer might well be front and centre in the public eye, but as we know an array of people help them into that position, and yet more are helping to keep them there, both directly and indirectly.

The resources, workshops and events promote the diverse opportunities available in sports business, coaching, media, science and fitness.

Presentations

We deliver face-to-face and online presentations to school and college students. Whilst we deliver on a range of topics, we work with you to ensure our presentations meet your key objectives.

To have a successful career, it is important for students to understand the qualifications, skills and experience required for their desired profession. Our presentations provide a review of the professions available within coaching/teaching, sports science, sports business, sports media and health and fitness. Whilst interactive activities engage students to consider the essential and desirable attributes required to achieve their career aspirations.

“Thank you for such an amazing presentation today for our Year 9 and 10 students.  I’ve had feedback from our Head of Year already about how much the students enjoyed your session.  The content was tailored perfectly and provided a great insight into the variety of roles available within the sports sector and how important soft skills are in gaining traction in your chosen profession.

Many thanks again for such an inspiring and informative presentation”
