Dear Buffy,
My goal is to work in sports, however, I am unsure where I should begin my path. I know that I want to work in some capacity in sports, but I don't necessarily have a preference at this point as to what area of sports business I want to get into. Where do you suggest I start?
Sincerely,Path Seeker
Dear Path Seeker,
I suggest that you try to read the biographies of anyone and everyone you can online with us here at TeamWork Online and try to meet as many people in athletics from coaches to administrators, to media relations executives to sales promotion agencies. Anyone and everyone that you can talk to will be helpful. Ask them enough questions about themselves that you could be a stand-in for them in their job for a day or two. In order to do that, you'll need to know a lot about them.
- Buffy
