A day in a life of a Sports Development Officer
I work in a national role that allows me to travel the country - from Loughborough to London, Cardiff to Sheffield. It’s rare that I’m sitting behind a desk in a 9-5 style job.

As the UK School Games Development Manager I regularly have to attend and chair meetings with National Governing Bodies of Sport and other national agencies such as UK Sport, the British Olympic Foundation and Governmental and local authority organisations.

I have regular internal meetings at the Youth Sport Trust that are focused on how we can make the UK School Games the best it can possibly be.

I also find myself rubbing shoulders with both past and present sports stars, who act as ambassadors for the Games, which brings a bit of added interest and excitement to my role.
