Key Points

  • Students will not achieve success in the field simply because they are sports fans.
  • With the industry growing at a rapid pace, it’s imperative to learn about the business in real time from executives in the field.
  • The earlier a student attains an understanding of the business of sports, the greater the advantage they will have over their peers.
