Hello friends! 👋
Welcome to the SportsGrad Podcast: The ultimate guide to make it in the sports industry!
Each week we share how people made it in sports and tease out their career decisions, work habits, skills, and everything they do that makes them great.
All so you can learn how to get in, get promoted, and get thriving in the sports industry.
You’re familiar with what occurs when you successfully achieve a goal, but have you ever considered what happens if you don’t?
Sometimes our expectations don’t always live up to what we imagined, and in this weeks pod, Reuben talks about his experience with this.
With the goal of running a half-marathon in under 80 minutes, on race day, he fell short. Rather than focussing on his disappointment, Reuben shares his three step process for transforming setbacks - Zoom Out, Analyse, and Make Changes.
This episode is a great one if you’re curious on how to bounce back and reflect on your own experiences, whether it be a failed pitch, a missed job opportunity, or an overlooked promotion. You’ll walk away with some tangible tips that will equip you to overcome challenges and reach your goals.
So, tune in and remember, "if nothing changes, nothing changes.”
