Brodie Askew enjoys horticulture and PE at school so he thinks a career in sports turf management just might be a great option for him when he leaves school. He heads along to the Lincoln University High Performance Centre to meet NZ Cricket Turf Manager Jared Carter to find out more about the job.
Brodie soon sees there are many variables that go into creating a top cricket pitch and if the pitch isn't performing, the players are soon going to let you know. But preparation certainly doesn't happen just before a match, the basics have to be there right from the start or there won't be any chance of a good result.
The outfield also has to be carefully maintained and Brodie checks out one of the sports turf tools of the trade, a scarifier.
A career in sports turf maintenance is ideal for those who enjoy sport and the outdoors, like a challenge and don't mind putting in plenty of time. Having got a good feel for the job, Brodie is pretty sure this could definitely be something for him
