Advice for Students Considering a Career in sports

My advice for students considering a career in sports is to take every opportunity. Whether it be a networking event, volunteering, internship, etc, put yourself out there and give it your best
shot. The best way to grow in the industry and figure out if it's the right fit for you is to do as much as you can! Even if you end up not wanting to work in sports you will end up with skills and experiences that will translate to other industries. Working in sports builds your work ethic like no other and is extremely rewarding.
