Football chief executive Leeann Dempster

From the stand at Easter Road stadium in Leith, Bryan Burnett is joined by the chief executive of Hibernian FC, Leeann Dempster.

Leeann Dempster is the chief executive of one of Scotland's most famous football clubs - Hibernian FC, based in Leith.

In her conversation with Bryan, she talks about why a career in football is about more than just the game on the pitch. She speaks about dealing with personal setbacks, professional challenges and how to deliver success both on the field and off it.

Leeann Dempster is passionate about football. As she says, its beauty and unpredictability are why we are prepared to put ourselves through the 'trials, tribulations, joys and misery' on a regular basis.

She gives advice to both boys and girls who are considering a career in sport, reveals how to source tickets for games - and why, for her, being part of a football club with a strong base in its local community is 'a real privilege every day'.
