    I am 15, don't know what I want to do when older but know it has to be about sport. Its just to big a part of my life for it not to be.

      Start on social media. Started a Instagram page in Highschool and getting a following while gaining the experience doing sports content will help a lot. You can do it all how you want as well, just practice skills and knowledge in every aspect of sports media would be my advice.

      Do well in school anyway. If it’s too late, that’s fine, finish up, go back, get your GCSEs. 👍 I say this at 32.

    I live in USA. same story, but when I applied to my newspaper, I knew that I wasn't going to get it, but I made sure to ask to be a free-lancer for high school sports.
    As expected, I someone was picked over me, but my eventual boss gave me a free-lancer opportunity. Five weeks into free lancing American football games, someone quit and I got the full-time spot.
    By the end of 2021, I was the only reporter left, so i was immediately the 'guy'.
    Shoot for being a reporter, but start off free-lancing to build the portfolio. Also, you get a paycheck as well.

      Thank-you! It helps if you get a bit of experience learning InDesign beforehand, which can be fiddly but there are tutorials everywhere. Other than that it was all just a bit of fun! Sorry for replying a year late!

    This is brilliant. I am someone who loves football and its my dream career and I currently have a fan website which I write. I have had decent enough grades at school but I really don't feel like I want to go to university. Should I try a college course or just attempt to go straight to a club?

      I recommend trying to get work experience at clubs. It may be that you need to go to uni to get into that position, but perhaps not!
