I’m currently General Manager of Sports Coaching Ltd. We put sports coaches into primary
schools to deliver PE lessons. I chose the University of Birmingham because I wanted
to study in a big city; also for my course, the University of Birmingham was in the top
three for institutions for the course that I wanted to do. I wanted to come to a big
city to study so that I could get a big social life but also have the opportunities there
to do what I wanted to do really and get the kind of work experience for life after university.
The course I did, Sport and Exercise Science, really helped in my current role because of
all the different modules we did. We did anything from sports psychology to biomechanics, to
biology. I did a lot of volunteering at the University of Birmingham through the Guild
and going into local communities, local schools and delivering coaching sessions to young
children. This really led into my current role because with that coaching background
and managing other coaches, I really was able to step into the role that I do currently.
I’d like to carry on working for this company and maybe in the next couple of years turn
over a million pounds and be in charge of doing that.
The reason I feel comfortable to manage these kind of people is because of the skills that
I’ve learnt throughout my time at the University.
