The SportsGrad Podcast #260: Landing jobs at the Brisbane Broncos & FIFA Women's World Cup in 2023 with Maddie Reith
Meet Maddie Reith, the ultimate go-getter, who took her Early Childhood profession and turned it into a life in the sports industry…
If you’ve ever wanted to work for your favourite sporting team, or land positions at some of the biggest events in the world, then this episode is for you. Maddie takes us through the process of how she ended up as the top Membership Sales person at the Brisbane Broncos, to working at the FWWC, to now leading 700+ people at the Gabba with the O’Brien Group. Learn how to nail those job applications, the importance of being yourself, and how you can find THE FWWC quarter-final penalty shoot-out ball in your house (yes, we freaked out over this too).
Maddie is a wealth of knowledge, with tonnes of great tips and tricks - make sure you tune in!
