On the prowl

Mardez — Wed, 08 May 2013 11:03:46 +0000

I have been seeking a position to start my career. I have had very little success with landing a full-time position in the sports industry. I knew what I was getting myself into when I decided to follow my passion. Now I must trust in God to pull me toward the finish line. Anyone who starts out in sports know that the pay grade is lower until you work your way to a management position.

Getting your foot in the door is the most challenging part. If you don’t know someone who has a position open or the internship you worked with doesn’t have an opening you are pretty much at the bottom of the barrel. I’ve had four relevant internships, a bachelors, and a masters and still told I do not have enough experience. I really do not understand.

I had a wake up call long time ago with the realization that I have to be aggressive for what I want in my career plan. I am so close and looking forward to whatever comes my way.

I said it before…

THINK OUTSIDE THE SQUARE MAKE AN OCTAGON FOR ONCE!!

I am a prowling lioness seeking a career. The sports industry is very similar to the wild prairies. I am lurking through cracks beyond the job portal hunting for the perfect prey: a position well suited for a young, hungry sport marketer. My main question during an interviewer: Are you ready for me?

If I were an animal… This would be me

Chad Johnson... Homeless man... Beer... Friendship... Twitter.

Who knew those five things went together so well ...

The out-of-work NFL star, in a spontaneous act of generosity, spent Saturday with a homeless man named Robert after making his acquaintance on the street.

Robert asked the 35-year-old athlete a beer, at which point Chad made his day by buying him a 24-pack - plus a pack of Newports for good measure.

Reblogged from The Verbal Sniper, by Alan Skontra:

Yesterday, the day a basketball player became the first openly gay athlete in one of the big four pro team sports, the cover story on ESPN's website was about the New York Jets cutting their fifth-string quarterback.

I said on Facebook that I'm looking forward to the day when neither is a story. I'm actually surprised that I didn't see more people talk about Jason Collins…
