Our Elite Sport Students recently attended a brilliant interactive workshop led by highly respected media expert Chris Lepkowski.
Chris has more than 30 years of experience in journalism to date and has shared insights from his time working in Professional football, the written press, on Talksport, and, currently, in his role with the BBC.
The students also had the opportunity to ask many questions and were astounded to hear some of his stories reporting on the Grand Prix at Silverstone, tennis at Wimbledon, Premier League football and other major sporting events in Europe.
"I love sport, and to be able to get paid to attend makes me feel very fortunate"!
He explained that the highlights also include speaking with and interviewing Jurgen Klopp, Gareth Southgate, and Lewis Hamilton, amongst others.
His takeaway message for the students was fascinating:
"Be kind and respectful to everyone you meet, you never know when you need to speak to them in your life".
Thank you, Chris!
