Searching for the Perfect Career: An Ongoing Process |
|
As an undergraduate student studying Public Relations through the Indiana University School of Journalism, I knew that I wanted to someday work in a sport organization. While I did not follow the traditional sport management academic path since I was studying journalism rather than sport marketing and management, I was still able to secure a summer internship following my sophomore year of college with USA Track & Field, an Indianapolis-based sport national governing body. As a marketing intern, I was able to get a firsthand glimpse of the ins and outs of sponsorship acquisition and fulfillment, event hospitality, and developing marketing campaigns. The summer at USATF was a wonderful experience and helped solidify my goal of someday working full-time in a sport-related field. I went on the following two summers to work in internships in sales and communications. It was wonderful to have the opportunity to experience three very different but still closely related job fields. While I enjoyed marketing, I realized that I was not passionate about it, and I truly found my niche in the field of sport communication.
