What Is This Event?
An exclusive virtual event hosted by McKinsey's London office for student-athletes and recent graduates who want to explore how their athletic experience translates into a career in consulting.

As a current or former high-performance athlete, you've already built discipline, teamwork, resilience, and drive. This event shows you how those strengths map directly onto what it takes to succeed at McKinsey — told by consultants who've made that transition themselves.

What to Expect

Inspiring Stories
Hear from McKinsey consultants who transitioned from sport to strategy. They'll share how their athletic backgrounds shaped their approach to problem-solving, client work, and career growth.

Skillset Insights
Understand how the qualities you've developed as an athlete — discipline, composure under pressure, working in high-performing teams — translate directly into consulting success.

Live Q&A
Connect with panellists, guest speakers, and the recruiting team. Bring your questions about life at McKinsey, the application process, and what the day-to-day actually looks like.
