‘Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.’

 

It’s the quote that inspired Tom Rose to embark on the most extreme of New Year’s resolutions in 2015.

 

For the next 52 weeks, Tom pushed himself outside his comfort zone to complete nerve-racking challenges from busking to stand-up comedy to sleeping homeless.

 

One-by-one Tom ticked off a diverse list of activities he never thought he would be brave or courageous enough to do.

 

In this episode, Tom shares with us the challenges that still keep him awake at night, the incredible growth and opportunities that have come his way as a result and how you can overcome your own fears by starting with one challenge.

 

Professionally, Tom is kicking goals in his dream role as Senior Marketing Manager at Southampton Football Club.

 

We deep dive into day-to-day life inside the English Premier League and the three-stage interview process Tom went through to land his dream job.

 

Plus, we discuss the importance of Tom’s year working unpaid for Sussex County Cricket Club and why sticking to a long-term strategy and goal pays dividends.

 

Tom truly is the master of getting comfortable being uncomfortable and we are sure you will enjoy this inspirational chat!

14 Jul 2021#105: How to sell yourself in an interview00:07:07

How to get into sport without getting lucky:

Principle #3 - Learn to create examples. Learn to sell yourself. If you can do both you will climb rungs.

Ever been rejected for a job you knew you could do? Here's how to never let it happen again.

First, you need to have the right skillset.

Then, you need to convince someone else you have the right skill set.

Then, you need to convince them that it's better than anybody else's skillset.

If you want to consistently level up from volunteering to internships to a job, in this episode, we discuss how to implement the third principle of getting into sport.

24 Aug 2020#20: Carlo Kasparian (FFA) - How One Volunteer Position Can Launch Your Career00:57:08

Introducing Carlo Kasparian – GM of Digital Marketing and Content at Football Federation Australia!

Carlo – a Bachelor of Business and Marketing Graduate at Western Sydney University - has combined his passions for football and storytelling with his experience in agency and client marketing to land his dream job in the world of sports digital.

At age 29, Carlo packed his bags and temporarily moved his life to London. In this episode we discover the tactical change of approach Carlo took (after constant knock-backs) to land his ‘eye-opening’ volunteer position at the Chelsea Football Club Foundation and how you can leverage your own work experience and connections to launch your career.

Carlo reveals to the SportsGrad Podcast the benefits of moving ‘in-house’ to access internal job opportunities, why it may already be too late for you once a job is advertised, and how you can build your network to unlock the hidden job market.

We even get an incredible insight into the scenario-driven interview process at the FFA and discuss why the success of an interview is driven by how well you can turn it into a conversation!

In this episode you will learn:

-      The benefits of working for both a client and agency – and why having “empathy for both stakeholders makes you a far better member of any team.” (7:25)

-      The scenario-driven questions in Carlo’s FFA interview and why it’s “okay to say you don’t know the answer.” (29:30)

-      Tips for students to gain opportunities during Covid-19 and the fundamental skills you should be improving right now. (48:36)

-      The qualities Carlo sees in the best volunteers that come through the FFA. (51:30)

25 Aug 2021#117: How to Talk to Anyone00:09:55

Hello friends!!

We're back to break down another principle of 'How to get into sport without getting lucky':

Principle #6 - Get comfortable talking to people you don’t know. Opportunity exists in circles of people who trust each other, and you are welcome to join those circles

The sports industry is a relationship game. If you want to succeed, you ought to be be able to hold a conversation.

The best part? There are some awesome people in sport!!

By putting yourself out there you open yourself to so many experiences you never though possible.

But to do so, first learn how to talk to anyone.

To hear more about why sport is a circle of people who trust each other and how to break in, listen to Donny Singe in episode #71.

15 Sep 2021#123: How to know your career is on track00:11:23

Hello friends!!

We've reached the final principle of 'How to get into sport without getting lucky':

Principle #8 - Invest so much time that it worries you if it will all be worth it. That’s how you know you’re on the right track.

When up to 600 people apply for popular entry level roles, you have no choice but to be in the top 1%.

But until you’re hired, you never really know if you’re doing the right things, or if you’re doing enough.

So... If you want confidence that your career is on track to land that dream job, tune in for a 'career barometer'.
