We talk about what it is like doing an unpaid placement. Balancing the placement and work on the side. Goal setting to get the most out of the placement and also looking ahead to where he hopes to take the experiences that he is learning now. We all want the dream job but how we get there is most often the most important part. Learn about what Ben is learning and how he is maximising his time with Doncaster Rugby. We love that you are joining us on this journey as we explore what it is like starting careers in sport science and would love to hear from you!
