Performance sport
Perhaps the most visible industry area in the sport and physical activity sector, performance sport is a highly competitive, fast-paced and innovative industry area.
Practitioners working in professional sport are employed in a variety of roles, providing support to the highest level of athletes so that they can achieve their goals, supporting the delivery of international competitions or making sure spectators are safe.
In the UK, 40% of paid sports coaches are under 35 years old and over 171 million hours of coaching are delivered each week.
