Liam Faithful
A degree in sport management enabled Liam Faithful to combine his love of sport with a future career. Liam complemented his studies with an internship at the Queensland Reds rugby union team, which enabled him to get a grasp on the operations of the club, undertaking everything from data analysis to event preparation. 'The highlight of the internship was definitely seeing what happens within a professional sporting club. For me, the ultimate goal is to work in a similar organisation so this was a really good stepping-stone,' he says. Liam's dream came true after graduation when he was offered a position as a sales and memberships consultant with professional Australian rugby league club, the North Queensland Cowboys.
