Mohit Rau 📖📚's Linkedin Analytics

My purpose and values: I am on a journey of reading 100 books and connecting with 500 people. I use the information and knowledge that I have gained and combine that with my journey in Australia to share insights on LinkedIn. My purpose is to add value to people's lives by paying it forward and writing on LinkedIn. I write what I feel would have been useful to me when I was an international student 4 years ago. My story: I grew up in Mumbai, India where there is a strong culture for cricket, but other sports suffer. I always wanted to be an athlete but was neither brave nor had the stomach to be relentless in my practice. I chose the safe option of being average to good in academics and follow the herd when it came to doing a bachelor’s in computer engineering and then finding an IT job. I left my awesome IT job in 2017 to pursue a career in sports. I decided to do a Masters in Sports Management from Deakin University to develop my skills and create a career path in sports. The reason I decided to do this was that I hit a brick wall and did not see myself working in the IT industry any longer. I always knew that I wanted to work in sports and after a lot of thinking, I finally gained the courage to leave my comfort zone in pursuit of being resilient and patient and making an impact in the field of sport. I worked as an IT consultant with a tech start-up called Techsa Services in India and am currently working in Adelaide as a Project Support Officer for the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing. I have 5+ years of experience in both computer networks and IT administration. And 2 years of experience in sports administration, coaching and development. I am a sports management professional not only interested in assisting people to get off the couch and start being active but also enjoy motivating elite athletes to find their true potential. I enjoy a competitive game of soccer with my clubmates or a fun social game with my other mates, I also love coaching sports. When I am not working or doing something in sport, you will find me reading books or watching some action anime. I love helping people to create a reading habit and helping them to read faster. 🙌I am always intrigued by people's journeys. So, if you ever see a message in your inbox and it's from me, I would be interested in talking about your journey.
