On the Monday after his final exam, he started his first full-time job in the Digital department at Cricket Australia. He did this by relentlessly trying to answer ‘how do I get a job in sport?’ He networked, volunteered, and applied for every job under the sun. When he landed the job at Cricket Australia, people asked him ‘how did you do it?’ So he started teaching them his method. When Ryan started at Cricket Australia, he met Reuben at induction - also experiencing his first day. 4 years of advancing between roles in Community and Commercial Partnerships taught Ryan what it takes to grow a fulfilling career in sport. Covid took Reuben’s job and turned his attention to helping others. Eventually that feeling got the better of Ryan, and SportsGrad became his new dream job. 3 days after launch, we became the #1 ‘Careers’ Podcast in Australia on iTunes. Now our podcast is sponsored by Deakin University, Australia’s leading university for sport, the SportsGrad community s
