INTERESTS
My life revolves around sport; from a young age sport has been my main interest whether that be
through spectating, participating or coaching. Since attending university I have found Sports
Development to be my main passion as this allows me to express my organistional skills through
a sporting context with an overall aim to increase participation levels of physical activity. My
aspiration for life is to be influential to others by providing sporting opportunities to all as well as
assisting sporting development through sporting pathways. I am a very outgoing person who
enjoys from a challenge; I also enjoy learning and developing my own skills to benefit others. Due
to my previous experiences performing at a high level in team games I am a good communicator
and work well as part of a team. I have been captain of the majority of my sports teams as I am a
natural leader and motivator. Furthermore, since attending university I have developed the
essential skills required for all Sports Development Officer jobs; these have been included above.
I have also become very passionate about my own career development and have taken it upon
myself to work alongside sporting bodies to improve my performance. University has increased
my knowledge and understanding of the sports industry, specifically across Wales, as well as
improved my communication skills and also allowed me to lead on many projects due to my high
levels of organisation and punctuality. As mentioned above my career objective is to provide
sporting opportunities accessible to all, as I believe sport and physical activity can be a vehicle for
improving peoples lifestyles.
I CAN PROVIDE EXCELLENT REFERENCES WHICH ARE AVAILABLE ON REQUEST AND
WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO ATTEND AN INTERVIEW.
