Intro to Your Career in Sports

For years, I’ve dreamt of working in the business of sports. To me, sports are more than just entertainment—they’re my passion. Thus, I set out this past summer to achieve a better understanding of the industry I love so much, interviewing multiple executives from various athletic fields and businesses. The goal of this research project is to give many young professionals who ambition to work in Sports Industry Management without having any idea of where to start, a point in the right direction of what it takes through the effort put in by so many professionals in the industry past. These blog posts contain interviews with employees in all sections of the Sports Industry and gain a background knowledge on who they are what they do, and how they got to the position they are at today. What they shared with me was more than just surface-level advice; each of them had stories to tell, unique insights into their businesses, and a love of their game. I am beyond excited to finally share my informational interviews with you. It’s my hope that you’ll enjoy reading through these conversations as much as I enjoyed having them. Enjoy!
