Three Keys to Seeking a Career in Professional Sport

​

  1. Minor League Baseball is a great place to start your career in sports.

  2. An entry level job in professional sports is typically a sales position.

  3. Hire for attitude, train for skill.

"The best advice I have to someone seeking a career in professional sports is to continue being a learner.  You don’t have to know everything when you start out in this industry, but you have to be willing to learn new skills and new ways to do things.  Show up early, and stay late.  The little things tend to get noticed in this industry.  Most of all, sports is supposed to be fun!  If you’re not having fun working in sports, then you’re in the wrong business"
