1. Weekends lose all their meaning, you'll rarely get that 'Friday feeling' - as you'll quite often be up at 4am on a Saturday setting up for a game/match/race.
2. Watching Sky Sports during the day, you'll usually see at least one person you know in the background.
3. Being a spectator at any sports event is the most frustrating thing, you want to leap over the barrier and show them 'how it should be done'.
4. As soon as you tell anyone what you do, they immediately drop hints about free tickets...
5. If you're a girl, guys are usually impressed, then horribly intimidated. If you're a guy, girls pretend to act impressed...
6. When you do have a miraculous weekend off, the last thing you want to do is talk about/watch/think about sport!
7. The vast majority of your wardrobe is event t-shirts, jackets, trackie bottoms and a vast collection of trainers.
8. Coming off an event, you struggle to decide what to wear, feel lost without an accreditation pass and quite often get 'phantom noises' where you still think you have an ear piece in your ear.
9. Friends think your job is easy/glamorous, and have no understanding of the long hours, stress and constant worry that you've forgotten something.
10. Your 'diet' will mostly consist of anything you can grab quickly in Pret, coffee and an endless amount of percy pigs and leftover 'goodies' from goody bags.
11. You have a constant stock of M&S knickers - as you never want the kit man to have to wash your pants whilst on the road.
12. It's the best industry to work in, and once you do one event...you'll be hooked!
