Completed my work experience at Sportsbeat  in Wimbledon last week,
And I got my first athletics article published with help from Andy Howden.

Finding my fingers

Well, the new season is underway.

New signings from all corners of the globe have flocked to the shores of Blighty eagerly hoping to impress their new fans and managers alike. Hernandez to United, Chamakh to the gooners and my personal favourites- Agustin Battipiedi and Christian Baz to Brighton and Hove Albion. 

But it is not just on the pitch that newcomers are trying to make a name for themselves. 

Budding wannabe journalists, like myself, are eagerly trying to take the online and print world by storm. My linguistic tools have been sharpened by three years of an English degree at Kent University, my knowledge has been enhanced thanks to a summer of football frenzy and my brain is now a catastrophic mix of stats and facts ready to drop in to any unsuspecting topic in the sporting world. 

Now all that I have to look forward to is the new season to get in to full swing. 

I have taken inspiration from the Scholes' and Giggs' of the journalism world and now am limbering up for the long haul. 

Just like a starlet taking part in a prematch warm up at Stamford Bridge, similar questions will be asked of me: Am I ready for the step up? Will I be able to cope with the pace of the game? Will I be able to justify the large transfer fee paid for me? OK, maybe not the last one but I can't wait for the chance to give it a go.
