00:00So I'm Jasmine Young, I'm from our day, I'm a club development officer covering the
00:11Ospreys region. So I work in the Places team as a club development officer, so helping clubs
00:18with everything off field. I've been brought up with rugby in my family, so my grandfather
00:22is a referee and he has been for I think 35 years now. My cousins, all my family playing
00:29rugby, so I've been brought up with her around me. I started playing at a young age, followed
00:34through into regional rugby then. I met Keira, who was my team manager, who is now a women
00:39and girls officer in the Cardiff region. I'd seen her own and I thought that is something
00:44I'd love to do. I found out about the WRU apprenticeship scheme, had a few conversations around there,
00:51got into that and that is the best thing I've ever done now, because it led me to where
00:56I am today. I think it's really important to share our stories. It inspires others to push
01:01themselves and do what they want to do, just like I did. I went through the apprenticeship
01:06program completely an on field role and I took the leap, come more off field now and it's
01:12really worked out for me. My biggest lesson is that you can do whatever you put your mind
01:16to. Like I said, coming from such an on field role with the apprenticeship program, doing a lot
01:22of, like I said, on field things. Now coming completely off field, going out of my comfort
01:27zone, meeting with club secretaries and all types of people in rugby clubs that I wouldn't
01:31have met with before now and sharing my knowledge that I've learned through my role.
01:36My proudest moment probably seeing the positive impact that I've had on rugby clubs in a short
01:41amount of time. Going out, completing brand new self-assessments with clubs last year and now
01:48revisiting those clubs and seeing the positive impact that I have had on the clubs and seeing
01:52the work that's gone into to rugby clubs, the hard work that's gone in by volunteers has
01:56been lovely to see that I have had a positive impact on the clubs.
02:00What advice would I give to my younger self? Just to do, do it, push yourself, go out of your
02:06comfort zone and you can, you are capable of doing it if you put your mind to it.
02:11Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it.
02:12Thanks for joining.
02:13In my part of the school in school, the gym has been lovely to see that there's a
02:14who was coming back.
02:15Yes.
02:16And I did great how to get into it, keep a good point.
02:17To be sure your food, if you put your children, not the ones that are safe.
02:18Do it.
02:19Do it.
02:20Not to be sure your children and your friends we live in.
02:21I don't know.
02:22Do it.
02:23So I can see the last week or three of your friends we live in.
02:24I get to have a pretty much sleepiness that I can help
02:25on the right side of our journey with.
02:27But what you said, if you don't know where did the years
02:29and we're doing the same.
02:30I got to get into it.
