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

Working with The Perfect Game Foundation® helped me realize what opportunities where available in the sports world. The job search was very overwhelming and The Perfect Game Foundation® helped me narrow down the careers I was interested in. The Foundation helped me afford my trip to the Sales Sports Combine in Tampa Bay, Florida. While at the Sports Combine I interviewed, networked, and trained with some of the top teams in sports. I was able to come away from the Sports Combine with multiple job offers.

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

The advice I would pass on would be to make the most out of every opportunity, you never know what connections and opportunities may arise. Be sure to use the sources you already have to help expand your network.
