A Practical Approach to Understanding Your Sport Journey

About this book

This book is a practical guide to getting your dream job in the sport industry. Offering a concise introduction to the contemporary sport industry and the wide range of careers within it, the book explains how to acquire the skills, qualifications and experience you need to stand out from your competitors and start building your career in sport.

Covering all sectors of sport, from public to professional, from elite level to grassroots, and from major sports organizations to self-employment and entrepreneurship, the book surveys the landscape of the global sport industry. It looks at some of the myths that persist about working in sport, and explains the types of education, qualifications, professional training, experiences and skills that employers are looking for. The book identifies careers in different sectors of sport, such as sport management and sport media, and introduces the key building blocks of career development, including how to write a strong CV; good interview technique; making the most of internships, placements and volunteering; networking, and promoting your personal brand on social media. Every chapter includes interviews with successful industry professionals from around the world, and a 'career playbook' section brings it all together with strategies and plans for taking those first steps forward.

This is essential reading for any student taking a sport-related course who wants to work in the sport industry, as well as early career professionals looking to enhance their career prospects.
