How would you describe people who typically thrive in this industry?
I would say people who succeed in sports are most likely passionate, adaptable, and good at networking. They are also eager to learn.
I was in the sports industry, and connections are really important to help you sustain your future. I started this company about two years ago.
Another challenge I faced was networking. I had just graduated with my master's and didn't have many connections in the sports industry. People who typically thrive in this industry have often worked in it for 30 or 40 years and already have tons of connections. That's how people succeed in this industry.
