ESSA and Nike Student Think Tank Recording - Episode 1

In this educational series, supported by ESSA and Nike, we will be speaking with experts working in high performance sport about their career pathways and experiences, and the current roles they hold in their respective professions. We will be taking a behind-the-scenes- look at "a day in the life" of working in the elite sport environment, the challenges, rewards, and what it takes to get there. This series is for students, graduates and early career practitioners with aspirations to work in high performance sport, who want to see firsthand what this career involves.
