When quizzed on the unpredictability of future job prospects for young people, Hecker was upbeat.
“Technology is only going to become more prevalent in elite sport and we must prepare for and embrace this,” Hecker explained. “It is the skills that make us human that will see those who invest in themselves be more employable. That’s our focus – using technology to help people amplify their human capabilities.”
