About This Programme:
Based: Regional
The Switch the Play Foundation is a charity dedicated to supporting all sportspeople to successfully transition into life outside of sport. The vision is a world where every sportsperson fulfils their potential at every stage of their lives and the charity’s mission is to empower sportspeople to be their best through and beyond sport.
This masterclass introduces the concept of networking, also known as, building relationships. Starting with support networks, the players will explore how they can ensure they have the right people around them to make them the best version of themselves. We will then help the players understand how to establish and grow a personal and professional network, equipping them with the skills to maximise their own networks.
The founder of media giant IMG said, “When all things are equal, people do business with people they like”. That may be obvious, but he then went on to say, “When things are unequal, people still do business with people they like”. This sums up why networking is so important, particularly in planning ahead for a future career or a side hustle.
