A graduate from GBSB Business School, Nikita Vorobiev shares his motivation for pursuing a Sports Management Education and shares how his experiences have shaped his ambitions for his educational and professional career development post-graduation.
Sports are in my blood . My family is already active in sports industry. My Grandfather, uncle and father all work within the ice hockey industry . As a kid I always knew I wanted to do something with sports and want to be like them . I think the initial part which really interests me is being part of this community not as a fan but looking behind the scenes and being able to learn from people and leave my mark in the sports industry . My studies helped me in connecting with people from different backgrounds and cultures and allowed me to not only learn from them but also develop and form my communication skills.
"The importance of being able to communicate, create great relationships and being well connected are also requirements that are key to success in such a position."
Nikita Vorobiev, former student at GBSB Business School
When it comes to situations related to sports management . I had the opportunity to work on my time management, planning and connecting with the right people which I believe will help a sports manager to solve issues and operate in the most efficient way. To add on that I had several courses which are sports related, specifically Sports and esports marketing and management. Within my internship which I had before coming to GBSB I found that these aspects were and are very important in the sports industry.
I have studied in Germany and in Spain where I went to different schools with different systems which allowed me to develop and form myself towards my best possible version. I have just received my Bachelor degree in Sports Management from GBSB and will continue by doing my master in Sports management at Universidad Europea de Real Madrid. Together with my personal background, my academic background and extracurricular activities which include the previously mentioned internship and other management activities such as organising and managing a school soccer tournament I am confident that I will make a significant impact in the sports management field.
