On Wednesday 9th March, S2 Administration class visited Rugby Park to hear how Kilmarnock Football Club uses IT in their day-to-day club. The group, photographed below, learnt how the skills they are learning in class can be transferred to the working world. Brian Sproul, Youth Coach and Education Manager, explained how he uses IT in his job. This includes Excel spreadsheets to keep registers and performance records of players; Word to create coaching session plans; PowerPoint presentations with nutritional advice and motivational sessions for players; various apps that let the coaches analyse games and performances. The hard working ethos was described; and the expectations of players were explained, perhaps leaving pupils thinking they have it easy at school!
