Hey Guys,
Has anyone here looked into gaining work experience at the CFC before? I'm a HUGE sports fan and I am studying "Sports Coaching" with a minor is Sports Man at Uni. SOOO getting some work experience in such a well renowned club would be AWESOME!
yeh my freinds tryed getting in at lexuis last year but they couldnt coz they were high school studetns but i also reckan give it a try you don't know what can happen!
who did they call? I am a uni student and I am studying sports coaching so... I mean I could try another sport but I thought I'd learn more if it actually interested me.
Call the club and ask who you could call / email about it.
Also, if you have anything particular you're interested in tell then about that - You'll probably find that the administrative people will be less likely to help you than the people you would want to hang around with - not baging the admin but if there's no structure in place for work experience then they can't help you, but somone higher up might be able to help you a bit more. Call them and see.
and don't expect a response when you ring the club........i rang the main number it rang for ages and ages and ages (i'm not talking 30 seconds here) and when i said, wow, didn't think anyone was there, the greeting i got was..... 'I'm very busy'
What? we dont have busy lives? I wasn't ringing Telstra ya know!
And then she just dumped me wherever she could, and now i'll just wait and see if this person she dumped me on, contacts me.
I mean, they haven't responded to my email of 31st of May as yet so i'm not holding my breath!
Good old collingwood forever????
***Update: Nice girl at CFC called me back and is now looking into my query.***
****Further update: Anthony Trainor called me back, but i wasn't here*****

that's the issue i am having. you ring the club you get no where. EVER!
I am not sure what field I would want to work in. Probably just have a look at different coaching technique's because I am very interested as to how a professional club conducts themselves but as if they'd let me into that. so I thought oh yeah... have a look at the managment stuff but
my sister did work experience for collingwood...well kinda, it was with the in schools thing, wer they go do drills n stuff at the primary schools. It was for her tafe course.
