As a coach or a sports administrator you are often damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

In this podcast we look closely at the employment arena as it is today. There are many who are embellishing their resumes and Linked In profiles and are not being found out, in the main because the employer or the employment agency hired to find a staff member are not doing their background checks. If this was not happening there would be no need for companies that carry out those checks for an employer. In this show we catch up with Colin Boyan from CV Check who carry out such background checks and he offers some sage advice that many looking to hire in the sporting world as well as outside of it. Hopefully you all find it interesting.

John reveals that he and Ashley are dinosaurs and how the sport that they knew no longer exists because sport has become absolutely about business. Are athletes and players now employees and if sport is business should the same principles that exist in an office job apply to them? Has the meaning of sport changed because it has become a business? How long is it before we see legal challenges being made to decisions made on the field of play, because of the commercial impact that decision had on a club?
