You might want to work as a sport performer or a leader of outdoor and adventurous activities, as a journalist covering sports or for an organisation promoting youth participation in your favourite sport. Whatever you choose, you will benefit from understanding contemporary issues in sport, learning about sports performance and leadership, understanding the relationship between sport and the media, and learning about outdoor and adventurous activities.
