The sports and leisure industry has seen a dramatic growth in recent years, as more people become aware of the need to lead a healthy lifestyle. This has led to more jobs becoming available in the industry: from sports professionals, coaches, personal trainers and sports centre and gym staff to facility management and teaching.
