A day in the life of a...
Talent Project Coordinator
There really isn’t a typical day in my job. I work in a team of talent identification specialists. Some of us (including me) are based within UK Sport and we work on the strategic planning and development of talent identification system across Olympic and Paralympic sport in the UK, and the rest of our team work for the home country sports institutes and they are delivering our talent identification projects on the ground. My job is very varied but it includes coordination of this team, and researching and sharing the latest research and best practice in talent identification. I am often in meetings with sports coordinating projects and initiatives we are running, as well as planning and delivering master classes to educate and up-skill talent identification practitioners who are working in the field with the sports. I am also responsible for the development of a national talent identification resource library.
