Currently in my final year of the Master’s program in STAPS Sport Management, specializing in International Sport Administration at Lille, I am writing to apply for an internship in the Event Management sector at World Aquatics. My decision to apply stems from my desire to put into practice the skills acquired during my studies, my passion for water sports, and my eagerness to contribute to the success of your projects.
My academic journey demonstrates my commitment and passion for sports, as well as my rigor and ability to perform in demanding environments. After obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Applied Foreign Languages from the University of Lille with an average of 15.1 in my first year and being the top of my class in the second year with an average of 15.2, I continued my studies through a one-year Erasmus exchange program in Bari, Italy. This experience was academically successful, with an average of 16, and allowed me to strengthen my level of Italian and develop an international perspective. Now, in my final year of the Master’s program in STAPS Sport Management, where I was the top of my class in the first year, I am consolidating my skills in sports management, specializing in event management, communication, and marketing.
A strong passion for languages drives me; I am bilingual in Italian, have a C1 level in English and Spanish, and an A1 level in Dutch. These diverse language skills provide me with valuable versatility and will be a major asset.
My professional experiences at Decathlon, including a 5-month internship as a department manager in Seville Center (Spain) and as a sales advisor at Decathlon Campus (France), have allowed me to develop my versatility, autonomy, and ability to work in a team, crucial skills in the professional world. During this internship, I was responsible for writing the commercial policy for the water sports department and managing a team of 6 people, while also improving my Spanish skills.
My commitment as a volunteer at my Triathlon Club in Liévin since a young age reflects my passion for sports and my willingness to contribute to the success of sporting events. I have recently expanded my responsibilities by heading the communication department and participating in the logistics and preparation of major international events such as the European Cup and the World Indoor Triathlon Championship.
My passion for sports, particularly swimming, extends beyond my studies. Since adolescence, I have been involved in a triathlon sports section and a swimming club, accumulating up to 18 hours of sport per week. This experience has allowed me to compete in the World Championships and several French Championships, demonstrating my perseverance, discipline, and ability to excel in high-level competitions.
Convinced that my dynamic and versatile profile, with an international dimension, would be of interest for an internship in the Event Management sector at World Aquatics, I am available for an interview to discuss my application further.
Please accept, Sir/Madam, the expression of my highest regards.
Sincerely,
Nina Lazzari
