A Day in the Life - Filip Gradek
As a Media Delegate I have had a chance (and pleasure) to work with the CEV office team to provide media coverage from some of the top European events, including the CEV Champions League Final Four (Men and Women) and the CEV Volleyball and Beach Volleyball European Championships.
Filip Gradek"What makes it most enjoyable for me is being a part of a professional team that you can count on, be it on-site or from afar."
CEV Media Officer
There is always an array of tasks to fulfill, between a wide range of media/social media content, match reports, feature articles, interviews and on-site cooperation with the event photographers, video crews, rights holders and local organizers. Each event and venue is different and some challenges can be quite unexpected but that is part of what makes the job so interesting. What makes it most enjoyable for me is being a part of a professional team that you can count on, be it on-site or from afar.
Anyone working with big events knows how demanding the pace and hours can be but the work division and cooperation among the team is great and knowing that everyone else is working just as hard to deliver their part is really encouraging. And in the end, when the trophies and medals have been awarded and the lights and cameras are off you leave the empty venue with a feeling of satisfaction that I find hard to beat.
