MDA Students Return to SSE for Two Days of Learning and Inspiration
Elin Emanuelsson, MDA alumna and entrepreneur, shared her journey from professional golf to founding Womni, a company dedicated to women's health. She provided key lessons on entrepreneurship, resilience, and navigating the business world beyond sports. Christopher Slim, a seasoned business leader, offered invaluable advice on recognizing strengths, shaping personal narratives, and building the right networks - essential skills both in business and sports.
The engaging sessions reinforced the importance of transferable skills for athletes transitioning into new careers. Through thought-provoking discussions, students gained practical insights into leadership, career development, and the mindset needed for success beyond the field.
A special thank you to Elin and Christopher for their inspiring contributions and for empowering the next generation of leaders.
The Management Diploma for Athletes at the Center for Sports & Business is an annual program designed to support elite athletes in their career transitions.
