Juggling Careers in Law and Football with Jock Climie

Jock Climie shares his experience building successful careers in law and football simultaneously – and some of the lessons he learned along the way.

Topics discussed include:

  • Managing the competing demands of academics and professional football
  • Challenges of combining two very different careers
  • The importance of:
    • Focus
    • Planning and preparation

    • Balance
