#69: Tom Rose (Southampton FC) - 52 Challenges in 52 Weeks

‘Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.’ It’s the quote that inspired Tom Rose to embark on the most extreme of New Year’s resolutions in 2015. For the next 52 weeks, Tom pushed himself outside his comfort zone to complete nerve-racking challenges from busking to stand-up comedy to sleeping homeless. One-by-one Tom ticked off a diverse list of activities he never thought he would be brave or courageous enough to do. In this episode, Tom shares with us the challenges that still keep him awake at night, the incredible growth and opportunities that have come his way as a result and how you can overcome your own fears by starting with one challenge. Professionally, Tom is kicking goals in his dream role as Senior Marketing Manager at Southampton Football Club. We deep dive into day-to-day life inside the English Premier League and the three-stage interview process Tom went through to land his dream job. Plus, we discuss the importance of Tom’s year working unpaid for Sussex County Cricket Club and why sticking to a long-term strategy and goal pays dividends. Tom truly is the master of getting comfortable being uncomfortable and we are sure you will enjoy this inspirational chat!Check out Tom's blog 'My Comfort Zone Challenge' hereWatch Tom's BBC Report hereCheck out the new SportsGrad Membership!
