What are some jobs I can get that involve sports?

There are a number of sports jobs that require very little specific education.  For instance:

• Just the knowledge you have from your own experience playing sports might be enough to get you a good job in a sporting goods store.  Although this might not be the most prestigious job, you will be working in an environment in which you can use your knowledge and talk about things you love every day. 

• You could look into taking a course on sports medicine.  You would have the chance to work with athletes on a regular basis and may even find yourself on the sidelines of the game at the ready to help in case of an injury.

• You may find yourself working in the front office of a Professional or College sports team. They need secretaries, lawyers, accountants, and all of th other positions you may find in a regular office setting

Training

As with many other jobs, entry level sports jobs will often have you working under a more experienced employee.  Learn all you can from them and take every possible opportunity to use and showcase your skills and prove your worth so you can work your way up quickly.

But I want to be a player?

Hey, maybe you have what it takes, but not everyone is cut out to be the next Kobe Bryant or Hank Aaron.  Even making it to the minors requires extreme talent and hard work.  Still, this doesn’t have to exclude you from making a career in the field of sports.  Don’t consider it settling to look into those entry level sports jobs.  Instead remember that you will be doing something you enjoy, rather than finding yourself in an office at a computer under the florescent lighting.
