My philosophy statement for being successful in the business of sports is to always stay focused, motivated, and eager to learn. You can never learn too much in this constant changing business. You can't be afraid of rejection, you must always learn from both the good things you do as well as the bad.
Six Month Career Goals:
1. Grad Assistant at a Division I school, preferably the MAC or BIG10
2. Gain enough experience to build off of being just a GA, and find out if coaching is something I want to do
Action Plan:
The best way for me to achieve my first goal is to act now and talk to all of my networks and connections that I know. Hopefully with the help of them, along with my resume and achievements will make me a candidate for a Grad Assistant opening at one of the schools.
