>> I would encourage any student that thinks that they may be interested in working
in sports, to definitely spend some time within a sports franchise
or even there's various ways you can still be involved, maybe through a ticketing company
or an agency that might do sports partnerships and things like that.
So there's a number of different ways.
But certainly if you're interested in a team level, spend some time, either as an internship
or volunteering and I say volunteering because sometimes there's opportunities,
especially when it comes to game nights, that if you just want to try to get
on the inside a little bit, get behind the scenes a little bit, so certainly spending time
in the office, seeing how things are done, and even if it's a couple of different organizations
because certainly cultures can be different from team to team,
can be different from sport to sport.
The perception from the outside might be gosh, sports would be a lot of fun to work in
but the hours might not be something that you would expect.
So certainly spend some time, find out, you know, what's right for you,
what types of jobs you might like to do within those organizations.
Maybe you like sales, maybe you like working with people in the customer service part
of thing or maybe you'd prefer to be more in the marketing or the operations,
setting up for game nights and doing those sorts of things.
There's a number of different ways you can go with it.
