Rugby legend and Irish Times columnist Gordon D’Arcy has been added to the line up for our special Transition from Sport to Business breakfast taking place on Monday, May 1st.
He will be joined in the discussion around what benefits a high-performance career in sport can bestow on what you do afterwards and on the benefits that can accrue to business from taking on athletes who have played at the highest levels in their sport.
Former World Boxing Champion Andy Lee and Ireland’s most capped International sports star Nikki Symmons will also be in conversation with David McHugh at this exclusive gathering of sporting and business leaders in the Dean Hotel.
There couldn’t be a much better way to start a new month and we wil be joined by representatives from the Institute of Sport, BDO, AIB, Tennis Ireland, Rugby Players Ireland and many more. The event is a joint promotion between Sport for Business and our friends at Mason Alexander Sport.
“The lessons learned on the field can add real value to a business when a player’s active sports career has drawn to an end,” said Sport for Business CEO Rob Hartnett.
“Bringing together sporting stars and business leaders in a relaxed environment will help both sides understand how best to make this transition work and become a real winner for everyone.”
“The skills we develop in high-performance sport can be of real value within businesses,” added former Tennis star and now Head of Sport at Mason Alexander, James Cluskey.
“This event is about exploring the ways that this can be understood by athletes, and by the businesses that could benefit from having them as part of their team.”
“We are delighted to bring together a really strong group of sporting and business leaders and to explore together how we can best work together.”
