  • Summary

  • Christopher Smith & Callum Amos bring you The AP Sports Podcast, created to help Aspiring Professionals reach their goal of entering the challenging sports industry. We aren’t here to interview or focus on the VP’s Director or CEO’s of organisations, our purpose is to focus on professionals who are 1-5 years into their careers. This means you, the listener, are able to learn what you could be in a couple years by being more knowledgeable of what needs to be done! We will be going through areas such as how to network effectively in sport, understand what sports organisations are looking for and even learn what you would do in specific job roles from the professionals themselves.

    • Real and honest insight into the world of ‘personal service’ within a golf club. What exactly goes into ensuring a premier service? What areas of the business are involved? 


    • AGAIN, it is so important to make meaningful relationships with NO EXPECTATION that it will provide you with a job that can be the difference in finding the right opportunity for you! 


    • The challenges of moving to a brand new area and settling in? 


    • Sometimes you just have to take the leap and grab the opportunity by both hands! 


    • Finding out what you like or more importantly what you don’t like doing! 


    Hear how Charlie got on through his year and see how by taking the challenge he has come out of the other side with ‘life skills’ he can look back on and feel proud of. This could be you if you only BELIEVE in your own ability.
