TLDR: 28yr old Sports Scientist & Strength & Conditioning Coach thinking to upgrade from technical field to upper level management. Should he start prep for ISB?
I am 28yr old male. My case is bit different from usual and it will be a long post.
Education:
10th: 9.8cgpa
12th: 90.2% (best of 4, Non-Med)
B.Sc. Physical Education and Sports: 83% from Delhi University
Master of Physical Education: 88% from DU
2x awarded Junior Research Fellowship from UGC
NSCA-CSCS (Most prestigious certification to become a Strength & Conditioning Coach, 134th person to do so in India)
M.Sc. Sports & Exercise Science from Technical University of Munich (WR-26th university)
Few more certifications in sports science
Experience:
2yr full time as strength & conditioning coach, currently leading the s&c dept for a Khelo India accredited academy
Freelance & part time fitness trainer/s&c coach experience of 7yrs
Have my own academy where I teach students for CSCS prep & other sports science short courses (registered company for this business)
Facility management & new initiatives bringing policy level changes to improve athlete performance
Organization of sports events, part of core committee
Speaker at national/international conferences
Reason for planning to go ISB: The impact I want to create in Indian sports can be brought through Policy & Strategy level management + better financial security (Current earning - ~24lpa) Consulting firms like EY, Deloitte & PwC are involved with this sector based on my current research.
Target roles: Product Management in Health/Sports Tech or Consulting in fitness, sports & health for govt./companies working in these sector
Should I prepare for ISB? What are the chances of my profile getting selected?
