For many years I have been a keen athlete, eager to master any new sport. I thrived on the hard work it took develop my skills to a high level and, it was this attitude, hard work and determination that enabled me to excel and become a professional sportsman. I am a natural team player with extensive leadership experience and a track record of success in the high profile and competitive environment of professional rugby. I know that the skills I have mastered throughout my career are extremely transferrable and would help me greatly in the workplace. I feel strongly that my professionalism and drive to succeed would be an asset to anyemployer and I look forward to demonstrating this.
My extensive work within the community has given me the experience and confidence to engage with others, both adults and children. Furthermore, the voluntary work undertaken, particularly visiting charities, has given me the drive to help others. I firmly believe that helping and engaging with othersare some of my strongest attributes and I look forward to being able to utilise these skills within the workplace.
After 17 years of playing professional rugby at the highest level, I feel it is now time to embark on a new career and I hope that I can use my knowledge and experience to embrace this new challenge.
