Jamaal Walton speaking on the lord and his why is extremely important and needs to be more of an emphasis than just making a paycheck to provide for one's family. We need to have more of a why like Jamaal!

Both had excellent points! Appreciate the director taking time for us to learn from the perspective from within!

Hi sir, my name is Savad hussain. Since my childhood itself i’m so passionate about sports. Recently I’ve got the offer letter for doing Msc sports event management from Leeds beckett university in England. What’s your opinion about this course and after completing the course what all are the job opportunities in Uk?

I'd say most of the advice is similar in terms of find ways to get involved in the field with teams in the area to make connections.
