I had always dreamed of a career in football. Who wouldn't want to be a part of this beautiful game?! I had always been obsessed with it; ever since going to my first game at the age of 4 with my dad I had been addicted. Everything I read, watched, listened to and played was football.
I hadn't been blessed with athletic ability so being a player had always been off the cards. Whether it was my asthma or my awful joints I could never play for long. I had tiny bits of experiences, mainly playing as a kid in the park or for my local junior team but not for very long.
I had always wanted a career in football, without the athleticism playing was of the cards though. So I had decided around 16 to try and go into the 'behind the scenes' jobs; working with transfers, finances and the general running of the club off the pitch.
This is what I did at university. After getting my business A-Level I decided to study at university. After my 3 year business computing degree I decided to make the move to go and do a Business with Sport degree at post graduate to try and push for the career.
Now, 23 years old, loaded with the necessary qualifications to work behind the scenes for a club I had made a bold decision. Why not try management. I had to do management modules and learn different management techniques so it may be worth a shot.
With no coaching qualifications and next to no playing experience I knew it would be tough but it was what I wanted to do so I made the push and decided to go for it.
