Gareth Stobart

I have coached football for over 15 years at various levels and ages. I studied an MSc in Football Coaching and Analysis at UCFB, and returned to work in student recruitment a few years after completing the MSc.

Football is my main passion and sport I coach and play. If there is a game on TV and I am at home, then it will be on the TV. I will watch all kinds of sports though and picked up an interest in NFL from my time in the USA.

Chelsea winning the UEFA Champions League final in 2012 is my favourite sporting moment – especially Didier Drogba’s iconic header to equalise.

Working in the sports industry and particularly the sport you love can make the job seem less like work and more of a vocation. It allows you to be part of what you love in many different ways other than just participating in your favourite sport or sports.

I am based at our Wembley Campus when on site, but I work with education organisations in London, South East, and the wider Southern region.
