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.

TESTIMONIALS
Lewis Cherry

Leah Jakeman
BA (Hons) Football Business & Finance graduate

Josh Arnold
BA (Hons) Sports Business & Coaching
student - Academy performance analysis
and academy youth scout at Burnley FC
“Being at UCFB helped me learn that
if you want something you’ve got to
go out, find it and take it yourself. If
you don’t, there are plenty of other
people who will. I went that extra
mile and got that job, and I take a lot
of pride in that.”
“I have shown what a personable and
adaptable individual I am and that
has gone a long way. Juggling study,
a part-time job and experience in
the profession I wish to pursue has
been difficult but the hard-work has
certainly paid off.”
“UCFB has opened up these
opportunities that I would not
otherwise have found. I feel a crucial
part of gaining opportunities is the
contacts that I have gained, and the
constant networking.”

Sharon Hoyos-Martinez
BA (Hons) International Football Business

Thomas Freismuth
BA (Hons) International Football Business

“Make sure that you utilise UCFB’s
vast network of contacts inside
and outside of the industry,
and particularly seek out work
placement opportunities with
football clubs at all levels of the
professional game.”
“The experience was great as it gave
me an insight into how international
tournaments operate. All TLOs
worked closely with Stuart Brown,
who’s an England Team Operations
Coordinator, and so got to help out
with logistics. This involved picking
the team up from the airport
and getting them from A to B
throughout the week.”
“My CV was almost empty before
coming to UCFB but after just a
year my CV is packed full with work
experience. From the placements
I also received very good reference
letters from my employers, which will
definitely help me in the future.”
