Euroleague Career Insights Q&A

I share some practical tips on building a successful career. With a focus on the sports industry, I emphasise the importance of creating long-term relationships, consistency, patience, and adaptability.

I also provide actionable advice on networking, handling feedback, and developing habits for sustained success.

Three particular quotes include:

On Patience and Obsession:
"You need to be a bit obsessive. Everyone can tell you to follow your passion and find your dream quickly, but the truth is, it’s very difficult. You'll need patience, and it will take time. This doesn't sell books or dreams in the short term, but it’s the old-fashioned story that holds true."

On Consistency:
"Consistency beats intensity. It’s not about being intensely focused for a short burst; it’s about making small, manageable changes and doing them consistently over a long period. The real competitive advantage is the ability to do something for 10 minutes a day for one year—something almost no one can sustain."

On Building Relationships:
"When you’re trying to build a relationship with someone, get them to talk about themselves. People love speaking about themselves. Ask open-ended questions and listen. The power of listening is massively undersold. Start with one relationship, one interaction, and then scale it to many. This fundamentally changes your approach to how you deal with people on a day-to-day basis."
