The Ultimate Course For Aspiring Directors of Sport

With Neil Rollings

Dates & Venues

    This five-part, online, course provides everything necessary to maximise applications for these positions.  The first two Units will explain the role of the Director of Sport as leader, cultural architect and quality controller: the third will consider programme issues and priorities.  The final two sessions will consider all dimensions of the job application and selection process to enable candidates to present themselves at their very best.  This unique content results from the experience of making more than 50 Director of Sport appointments, conducting over 200 interviews and reading nearly 2000 letters of application.

    This course will be run once in the 2024/2025 year, specifically for people intending to apply for these jobs in the future.  Numbers are strictly limited.
