Simon Robinson
Senior Lecturer in Sport Management
I am a Senior Lecturer in Sport Management. I specialise in Football Studies.
Before coming into lecturing, I worked as a Football Development Officer, Director of Sport and Recreation, Regional Training Unit Coordinator and as a Football Coach.
I enjoy playing and watching football and am a keen supporter of Barnsley Football Club. I also like to play golf, go skiing and I have ran the London Marathon raising money for Diabetes UK.
Throughout my employment in the sports industry I proved not only to myself but also to others that I am capable of making the best of resources.
