Jobs in the sports industry - what are they?

Our youngest cherub has managed to fail every single one of his prelims - a combination of a complete lack of effort and a low level of interest in academia. The former pisses me right off, the latter is fine - university is not for everyone.

He's very into sport and is naturally talented - he's fantastic at every sport he turns his hand to. This is where we come unstuck as I am not sporty at all and it's been a good few decades since DH graced the rugby field. We're both in solid professions and know nothing about the opportunities in the sports industry that will give him a reasonable income and job security. Any suggestions?

Anything in golf is quite well paid. Greenkeeping is a sought after specialism that will always be needed and keep him healthy outdoors. If he has an interest in golf at all working at a club comes with a lot of employee benefits usually.

Great suggestions here, thanks so much everyone! That’s given me (us) a lot to go on 😊
