The reality of professional sport.
Three men's premiership clubs, one women's premiership club, and one men's championship club, all disbanding this season, it has a cascading effect throughout the game. The job losses, the uncertainty, and when it comes to the options of signing to a new club - it's slim picking. We've even felt the effects in refereeing as it's more than 100 less games, meaning our opportunities have vastly become more sparse throughout the season.
The bloke in the below article is my brother-in-law, William Edwards. Talented sportsman, family man, and all round good human. Great article written about the reality that's facing so many rugby players at the top end of our game.
But with that comes opportunity. I have no doubt, that whatever Will chooses next, he will be successful. With his first class degree in maths and experience outside of rugby he's gained; whether he continues to play, moves in to the financial world or decides to go in to teaching, he's going to do well. The sportsperson mentality is a unique one and something businesses should want to work with. In my view, as a recruiter, he's a pretty great candidate.
