Life beyond sport

Resource

Years of training build things employers want: discipline, handling pressure, taking feedback, working in a team. The hard part is seeing those in yourself and putting them into words on a CV.

This Athlete365 Career+ guide, produced by the IOC with The Adecco Group, takes you through that step by step. It covers working out your strengths, exploring options, building a network, and preparing for interviews. Aquatic athletes are among those quoted.
