I don't get to do as much CR work now as I did last year or when I was a CR intern. But I still enjoy seeing how the players impact the community and make a difference in peoples' lives. More than anything I like being a part of something that makes a difference. There are two different types of people who are involved in the sports industry. You have your college-age, young people where it is a lot easier to get involved because of internship opportunities.
Internships are the easiest way to get involved.
You work for nothing, work really hard and hopefully get noticed. It gets harder when you are an adult who already has a job and is trying to get back into sports. You really have to be willing to take a step back and come in as a coordinator or someone's assistant who is willing to do anything and work your way up from the bottom. I would suggest an internship to anyone who is interested in getting involved with sports. All rights reserved.
