Sports and entertainment is one of the toughest industries to break into. It's also one of the most rewarding.
Every season, thousands of students dream about working in sports. Most never make it past the first round of applications. Not because they aren’t talented, but because they don’t know the rules of the game.
If you’re here, you’re not just another “sports fan who wants a job.” You’re ambitious, curious, and ready to put in the work to stand out. You just need someone to pull back the curtain and show you how the business really works.
You want to know:
How do I land an internship in sports?
How do I network without feeling fake or awkward?
What does a career in sports look like beyond what’s on TV?
These are the exact questions students, recent grads, and young professionals like you ask me every single week. And the truth is: the answers aren’t in textbooks or Google searches. They come from being in the room where decisions get made.
💬 Like the time a team exec told me he didn’t care about GPA when he was interviewing candidates. He cared about whether the candidate was curious enough to walk down the hall and introduce themselves to someone new or speak up in meetings and offer a new solution. That moment changed how I thought about hiring forever.
The sports industry is competitive. But it isn’t impossible. The people who make it aren’t always the smartest or most connected. They’re the ones who learn how the system works and use it to their advantage.
💬 One of the best hires I ever made was an intern who wasn’t the loudest in the room, but they noticed the small details no one else did. That attention to detail turned into trust, and trust turned into a full-time role.
Have you considered what a career in sports means? It's not all on-field roles or interacting with players.
Here, you’ll find:
Insider strategies teams and brands actually use when hiring
Ways to stand out in a sea of resumes and LinkedIn profiles
Paths you didn’t know existed like sponsorship, partnerships, media, analytics, marketing, and more
Stories and lessons from inside the industry, working with leagues, teams, and global brands
💬 I’ve seen resumes with perfect stats get tossed aside, while the candidate who showed up early to volunteer at an event got hired on the spot. It’s not always the obvious stuff that gets you in. It’s the little things you don’t see unless you’ve been inside.
