Hey friends!
If you’re struggling with:
Meeting the right people in sport
Knowing what job in sport suits you
Having the confidence to go after your dream job
Then you’re going to love our Member Exclusive event series: ‘Industry Intros’
Industry Intros is a group Zoom call with a professional in sport.
Where we… make an introduction for you to someone in the industry!
It’s kind of like the coffee catch up you’ve been trying to organise, except we bring the people to you.
In these sessions, guests give an overview of their job and their career journey, then it’s open to you to ask the questions you want!
How to frequently meet people in sport:
Cold LinkedIn DMs | SportsGrad Online Events |
|---|---|
60 minutes to craft the perfect message | No outreach required |
120 minutes to find 10 ‘perfect’ people to message | No outreach, we use our network for you |
7 days sweating over your inbox hoping they reply | No rejections, we’ll find the guests |
1 reply comes back, you spend 4 days back and forth to find a time | No logistics to worry about |
45 minutes to pick the perfect outfit | No outfit anxiety, join from home |
45 minutes to get to their local cafe | No commute time, join from home |
30 days after you spent 6 hours trying to get a coffee, you finally meet them | Meet a new person every 2 weeks with nothing to organise |
What if I miss an Industry Intro?
Don’t worry, we record everything and add it to the SportsGrad jobs in sport directory.
Inside the archives is over 60+ hours of content available whenever you want - kind of like Netflix for the Sports industry!
