The manager of some of New Zealand's top athletes will be in Wanganui on Monday to speak with local sporting prospects about building their careers.
Sport Whanganui has invited Kelly Evans, managing director of the Athlete Project Agency, to present at a series of workshops speaking to young local athletes, their families and coaches.
Evans will cover career advice and planning, media and public relations, self marketing and securing sponsorship.
Her agency represents London Olympics bronze medal cyclist Simon van Velthooven, world champion cyclist Aaron Gate, Olympic heptathlete Sarah Cowley, Black Ferns sevens captain Sarah Goss, and others.
Sport Performance Whanganui co-ordinator Nicole Dryden says the relevance of these careers - Evans' areas of expertise - are crucial for young aspiring athletes to understand.
