The Sports Career Guidance Question :What three tips would you give to people who want to pursue a career in the football industry?

Sabrina's reply: I'm usually good at these things.  The first thing that I say to even my employees all the time, if you hit let's say you hit a wall. A lot of times we've heard the quotes before, if you hit a wall, either break it down or climb over it, or climb over it. So it's, even though it's a challenge, in the end, it's going to be even more, I think, let's say, you're going to enjoy it more, even though it's a challenge. Second thing is definitely set goals. Because without these goals, or even though they may be or in 10 years or in five years, but without these goals and certain steps to get to that, then there's no way to measure the improvement of your career. Third, enjoy. If you don't enjoy your job, don't do it.
