SMWW has exposed and opened up my knowledge of the sport Industry. I have been doing sport business casually, lacking the knowledge of what I am required to do and how to act during negotiations, approaching clubs and players. I encourage people who want a successful career to study with SMWW. I thought I knew it all but I was shocked to discover how little I know during the 8 weeks course. Thanks SMWW
