Chrystall Nicoll - Fencing

"I was introduced to Careers After Sport by the BAC and I was fortunate to be invited to the CCE work experience day. The day was very well run by CAS and CCE and it was really refreshing to see a business of Coca-Cola’s reputation keen to engage with elite athletes. Since the day things have progressed superbly, CCE are receptive to my aims and with CAS/Russell’s guidance I have been able to make the most of the opportunity to convince CCE to make an offer to me. I am ecstatic – CCE have fitted the sales/IT training I need around my fencing training schedule; the role really helps me financially, it is a highly energetic but fun working environment that fits perfectly with an athlete’s personality. In my first few days CCE have been accommodating, open and the support network has been faultless. It is a fantastic company and I have every intention of producing great results both in my fencing and for CCE."

Chrystall has been a top performer with CCE and has already been promoted on performance.

“Working with Careers After Sport got me off my backside!  Their personal mentoring approach made me put pressure on myself to act positively and the structure of the Career Coaching programme enabled me to take things forward in a logical and constructive manner.

The whole experience has made me start to think very clearly about what I want to do, where my skills are and what areas I need to work on to develop success for myself in the longer term.”
