A Sports Management Degree offers a wide array of job opportunities and possibilities. Sports management careers are popular due to the passion many people have for athletics and it allows non-athletes to work within the sport field. One aspect to note is that there are 3 main segments within this field. These include; sports performance, production, and promotion. Each offer unique opportunities in the athletics field. A performance career would be a Recreation Worker, a production career would be an University Athletic Director (A.D.), and a promotion career would be a Sports Event Planner. Ultimately, after analyzing all 3 sectors, the production segment distinguishes itself in terms of size and scope, growth trends, and it allows the non-athlete the most opportunity to direct and guide University athletics.

Informational Interview As an Accounting major, I am very interested and have become fond of learning about the varying business aspects within the sports industry.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Felicia Crump who is the Chief of Staff at Harlem RBI. Her upbeat and welcoming attitude made talking to her very easy. From growing up in central New Jersey to attending school in New York and then UConn, Crump has been able to open many doors in her professional career. Though she was not always interested in Sport Management, sport was always a big part of her life, as she was a starter for Hobart and William’s women’s soccer team in upstate New York. While playing collegiate soccer, Crump was studying art history and graduated in 2002.

May 13, 2013- A day that will go down in history as one of the most devastating days for fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs. After an 113 day lockout at the beginning of the season, the Leafs made the playoffs for the first time in 9 years. They were playing the Boston Bruins in the first round and made it all the way to game 7. Leafs fans around the world were glued to their TV 's as they watched their team build a seemingly impenetrable 4-1 lead with 15 minutes to go in the third period, all they had to do was hang on to it… The Bruins added a second goal with 9:18 remaining, and then the unthinkable happened. In the span of thirty-one seconds, Boston netted their third and fourth of the game to tie things up with only seconds remaining, sending the game to overtime. There 's nothing more exciting and nerve wracking than Game Seven overtime, but unfortunately for the Toronto Maple Leafs, their dreams of winning the cup were once again extinguished. They added another year since the last time they won the coveted Stanley Cup: 46 years and counting (now up to 48 years in 2016)-the longest drought without a Cup for any NHL team in history. Yet even with such a long drought without a cup, Maple Leaf fans remain some of the most loyal and dedicated in all of professional sports. The team also brings in some of the highest revenues in all of the NHL. How can a losing team be one of the most profitable?

Local Fanbase Capitalize on Initial Excitement As the Golden Knights prepare for their first season, it is vital that they capitalize on the excitement of being the first professional sports team in Las Vegas. This entails selling enough tickets to fill the arena and creating a buzz in the city to get people to start following the team and becoming fans. If they can’t create enough interest in the team during our first few years, it will create a bad first impression and they will likely struggle for fan interest for a long time. Therefore, they need to focus on establishing a strong presence in the city and build pride for the team and city of Las Vegas.

"A career is defined by a sequence of positions, opportunities and windows that open and close" says Alain Gosselin, Professor and Associate Director of Executive Education and leaders at HEC Montreal.

Often absorbed in their everyday life, students have trouble taking time to breathe and plan their week, not to talk about building a career plan.

Finding a specific career path can not only be difficult, but it can also induce bouts of anxiety, anger, and sadness over a crucial part of an individual’s life.
