UCFB Future Sport 2018
UCFB is delighted to present Future Sport – its inaugural magazine packed full of highlights of UCFB graduates in the workplace and exclusive interviews with the biggest names in sport. The issue is led by England manager Gareth Southgate, who with a World Cup just around the corner gave us his thoughts on leadership and the importance of education for a modern day coach. Sky Sports’ Hayley McQueen, Tottenham’s Mauricio Pochettino and Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers also feature. UCFB graduates feature heavily throughout the issue, showcasing their skills and talent in the workplace at clubs and organisations including The Football Association, Watford FC, Sky Sports and the Evening Standard. Future Sport also takes an in-depth look at London’s relationship with the NFL, and compares the promotion of big boxing events and the contrasting promotional styles of former heavy-weight world champions Wladimir Klitschko and David Haye.

WELCOME
The future of sport is here
Hello, and thanks for choosing to read the
inaugural Future Sport magazine. Here, we will
share with you just some of the brilliant examples
of our students and graduates working alongside clubs,
governing bodies, events and brands as we drive forward
the industry together.
The sport industry is changing at an unprecedented
rate, and is now more professional than ever before –
on and off the pitch. The number of work and career
opportunities is increasing all the time, with new doors
opening every day to those willing to put the hard work
in. Simply put, the future of sport is here and now is the
time to tap into the knowledge and expertise of UCFB,
its students and graduates.
Across the following pages you’ll read about our
fantastic work at a number of the biggest sports
organisations around the UK and further afield,
including graduates at renowned institutions and clubs
such as Manchester United, The Football Association
and Sky Sports, and current students helping to
facilitate global sporting events. Since UCFB opened in
2011, we’ve partnered with over 400 elite organisations,
with our students having helped to take these
businesses to the next level.
On top of that we’ve also got exclusive interviews
with England manager Gareth Southgate ahead of
a vital World Cup year, and Tottenham boss Mauricio
Pochettino. Both managers talk of the importance
of education, communication across the workplace
and what it takes to succeed at the highest level in
professional sport. At UCFB we care deeply about
diversity within sport and actively encourage women to
participate at all levels of the industry. Our eight-page
women in sport special, which includes further exclusive
interviews and graduate highlights, shows just some of
the great work women are doing in sport right now.
UCFB and our network of employment partners
continue to drive innovation and success as the next
generation of talent takes its place in this exciting sector.
I hope you enjoy the read!
