How did working with The Perfect Game Foundation® help you?

The Perfect Game Foundation® (TPGF) spent many hours helping me reach out to various sports organizations I wouldn’t normally be able to contact on my own. TPGF helped me connect with collegiate and professional team representatives for both career and internship opportunities until I found the appropriate fit for my personal and professional goals. In addition to providing numerous contacts, TPGF offered valuable advice for my resume building, interview preparation and helped expand my background knowledge of the sports industry.

What advice would you pass on (pay forward !) to others to aspire to work in sports?

Remember all the people who helped you get where you are today, someday you might be the one reading a letter from someone trying to get their foot in the door.
