Know Your Weaknesses, Don't Tell Them Instead Turn Them Into A Strength.
Understand your weaknesses before you apply for a single role โ the more clarity you have, the more you can offer an employer.
Beyond 'I Like Sport' Instead 'How Can IMPACT Sport'
'I like sports' is not a reason to hire you. What area can you add value in โ that's what people want to hear.
Purpose Over Passion
Purpose is more powerful than passion. Passion is an emotion โ purpose is a roadmap for where you're going.
The Best Short Term Plan Is The 100-Day Push
You could achieve anything in 100 days if you put your mind to it, write it down, and stay persistent.
Set A Four-Year Target
Ask yourself:
What's my career target for the next four years?
Where do I want to see myself?
Master One Thing, For Me It Was Mastering To Be A Podcaster. Then Mastering How To Run Women's Football Events. Then How To Be Book Manager.
If you want to be successful at anything, you've got to master something and really learn what it takes.
Block your career out in 10-year periods: master a skill, get paid what you're worth, become an influencer, become the go-to mentor.
Start And Finish! A rule I live by and not stopping in the middle of project.
A career plan gives you a start and a finish. Without one, you're just wandering a messy road.
"Challenge Creates Character" A quote from my school headmaster Gregg Davies
Every action you take is a challenge that builds your character to who you are.
Yes Now, No Later
Have a yes mentality first. You can always say no later, but you can't get the experience back.
Say Yes To Learning & Say No To Distractions
Don't say no to any opportunity in an environment, because you learn from it, you don't know what you'll learn until you go there.
Play The Long Game
Don't focus your energy on the quick win. Some opportunities take years, not weeks.
Having A Pause In Your Sports Career It's Normal
But, When You Come Back
Show Up Consistently
Self-discipline is showing up consistently, week in, week out, even when it's hard, that's what wins in sport, and in life.
Unbeatable Mindset With An Excellence Attitude
Nobody can beat you but yourself.
Know yourself, and you become unbeatable.
A Reminder To Myself, Confidence Is Memory
Confidence is the memory of past success. Build it, protect it, and stay consistent with it.
No Means 'Next Opportunity' rejection is part of life and perusing a career in the sports industry.
If you're not getting the yeses you want, that's their loss, not yours.
