What does sport mean to you? It to me, means competition, excellence, bonds, camaraderie, success and failure.
When an individual has performed to the highest level of sport, they absorb these characteristics and traits readily, and can transfer them to a new arena of their lives. Be it recruitment, banking, sales, speaking, brand ambassadors, estate agents, property developer, pundits or coaches, they will have a strong set of learned behaviours to fall back on to make a success of their second careers. They are, with a bit of thought, matchfit to be a success.
Food for thought really when recruiting your next wave of graduates who have a devalued degree and no exposure to life, or success and failure.
