The following story was submitted by Connor Starrs, a 2015 fellow of The Perfect Game Foundation®.

  • Name: Grace Dowling
  • School:
  • Job or Internship:

After graduating from college, I took some time figuring out which path I wanted to take with my career. It was then that I met with Del Wilber and The Perfect Game Foundation®, to explore different routes within sports. Del was extremely helpful in explaining the landscape of the sports industry and providing things that I could do to grow in this space.

From here, TPGF helped me foster connections, which assisted with my internship and eventually full-time role with the WTA, to now working for the Tampa Bay Rays in the Baseball Operations department. Del has always served as a mentor to me and continues to be a great source and friend that I can turn to for questions or guidance. I look forward to connecting with other TPGF fellows and guiding them in their search!

In His Words

"There is no substitute for Excellence – not even success. Success is tricky, perishable and often outside our control; the pursuit of success makes a poor cornerstone, especially for a whole personality. Excellence is dependable, lasting and largely an issue within our own control; pursuit of excellence, in and for itself, is the best of foundations,” The Heart of the Order, by Thomas Boswell (Doubleday, 1989).
