If you've ever doubted the credibility of experience in grassroots sport, Adam Bishop, GM at Athletics Australia, is gonna wanna make you pick up the phone and call your local club.

Off the back of a conversation over one of Reuben's LinkedIn posts, Adam agreed to come on the show to share his perspective on why he would "always seek out those that had been proactive in learning and demonstrating experience through volunteer roles within sport."

In this eye-opening chat we cover:

• Does the role matter? Or is it just about getting an understanding of the landscape?
• How important is 'Transferability'?
• Why it's critical if you plan to work for an NSO
• And 'political context!' Why do those with grassroots experience have a serious advantage

View Reuben's post calling out NSOs to explicitly state that 'grassroots experience is valued experience: https://bit.ly/3uZxrpy
