Thank you sir. The results of My sons prelims are out and he scored only 50% in (PCMB+Soc Studies). Where as he scored 90% in (Eng, Marathi & Phy. Ed). I think it clearly indicates his disliking for PCMB. What stream we should consider for 11th. Can you please elaborate on the below careers: 1. Sports Management 2. Sports Journalist (as he is good in languages) 3. Phy. Ed Teacher

Ans: Thanks for coming back.

As desired by you, here is the information about 3 career paths for your son, based on his interests and aptitudes. Sports management involves event planning, sponsorship management, marketing, athlete representation, and operations management for sports teams or facilities. To improve his management skills, choose the Arts or Commerce stream in 11th and 12th grade, followed by a general BBA with choices in Sports Management or a Bachelor of Sports Management degree. Postgraduate, he can pursue related certifications or an MBA in Sports Management or an MBA.

Sports journalism involves reporting on sports news, writing articles, creating content for media outlets, and may cover live events. After tenth grade, choose the Arts/Humanities stream in eleven and twelve, followed by a Bachelor's degree in Journalism and Mass Communication. Postgraduate, specialized courses in sports journalism can add value.

Physical Education Teacher (PE Teacher) involves teaching students about fitness, sports, and maintaining physical health. After 10th grade, choose Science or Arts stream in 11th and 12th grade, followed by a Bachelor's in Physical Education or Sports Science.
