REALITY OF WORKING IN SPORTS

I wanted to start a series talking about what I wish people would have told me before I started working in sports! Working in sports 101 will be your ultimate guide for what to prepare for and how to prepare for a career in sports!

1. Adobe premiere pro is an app I recommend getting familiar with before starting because it is what a lot of teams use to edit content with! There are many videos on YouTube I find helpful to get started!

2. Working in sports does mean working long hours because lots of sports run late and also can run past allotted times. Being prepared for this helps you find a balance in life when getting started!

3. This field is constantly changing whether that be style of content, rules, or style of play. It is crucial to being open to change and finding ways to stay on top by learning and developing your craft!

This image displays text on a foamy ocean background, stating that perception shapes reality and a shift can transform frustration into patience, fear into trust, and obstacles into stepping stones, inviting consideration of possibilities.
Against a foamy ocean backdrop, the image asks, "What if the delay in your manifestation is actually protecting you?" and explains that delays might be divine timing, refining and perfecting things for one's highest good.
