We are delighted to be joined by Women In Football CEO Yvonne Harrison for a chat about her career in sport and how she rose through the ranks of Greater Sport to becoming a national figurehead for women's football.
A graduate of our BA Leisure Management course, Yvonne talks us through what it was like growing up as a big sports fan in Manchester, her dreams about getting involved with the Commonwealth Games in 2002 and how she rose through the ranks from volunteer to CEO at GreaterSport.
We also got Yvonne's thoughts on the current stature of women's football and where the sport needs to go in the coming years.
This is a compelling discussion about how to take advantage of work placements whilst as a student, how to build a career within a sports organisation and how networking is a crucial skills when working with a variety of local partners.
