How did working with the Perfect Game Foundation help you?

Del is much more than a career mentor- he is a friend. When we first met, Del and I connected over our mutual passion for hockey and sports. Since then, The Perfect Game Foundation has accelerated my career passion of data analytics by guiding me towards an internship that works to develop essential skills in the information technology industry. I cannot thank Del enough for seeing potential in me and spending the time to find the perfect internship match. From chatting about sports to preparing for interviews, Del has been an incredibly generous mentor and friend.

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

Never stop growing both technically and socially.

Technically, in an increasingly competitive job market, knowledge really is power. There will be times when you are not the most qualified candidate for a job, but your motivation to learn will be the reason you are selected.

Socially, being friendly goes a long way! Developing social skills in a professional setting is key to building a strong professional network. Who knows- maybe you will make a friend along the way.

Thank you, The Perfect Game Foundation, for the selfless help and support along the journey.
