Careers in Sport YouTube channel launched
There really is no substitute to working in sport. Jobs in sport enable you to see and do things you simply will not experience in other vocations.
And while we’ve all no doubt shared similar hopes and dreams of taking gold or scoring that last-minute, being a sports journalist, a PE teacher or sports scientist, for example, really is the next best thing.
Sport remains a fiercely competitive world. Whatever your interest, whether it is a job in media, teaching, coaching, health and fitness etc, there are an increasing number of opportunities. The trick is to stand out from the crowd. To help you stand out from the crowd we have interviewed leading professionals in sports business, coaching, media and science and asked them to provide advice on the key skills and qualifications required.
The new Careers in Sport YouTube channel has the full webinars but also each presenter offers their ‘top tip’ for establishing a career in the sports industry.
