Integrated Career Strategist | Founder-Resumedics Career Strategies & Solutions | Author: Finding Your Career Mojo-Muddling thru the Resume’ BS!
Every year, I eagerly follow the NCAA March Madness tournament, drawn in by the impressive player resumés showcasing their on-court achievements. Having assisted numerous collegiate athletes, former Olympians, and hopefuls in new chapters of their professional lives, I am keenly aware of their accomplishments OFF the court, (as well as the field, ice, and track) while working on their resumés. What often goes unnoticed by other soon-to-be college graduates and working professionals is that they, too, are impactful performers in their own right. While their stage might not be as grand, their work-related successes, community involvement, and teamwork garner equal recognition on their resumés. When considering your marketability and career path, envision yourself as your OWN PERSONAL BRAND and what your unique blend of experiences and achievements can significantly contribute to an organization's success and growth! #careerdevelopment #careerstrategy #resumewriting #careercoaching

Youth Sports Lessons = Real Life Lessons (99% of the time). 1. Don't fear direct communication; embrace it. 2. What you say and your behavior reflects who you are and what you value. Be mindful of how you carry yourself, as it will change outcomes. 3. Don't gossip and talk about others. It’s irresponsible and damaging. And it will catch up to you. 4. The shiniest, most lucrative jobs or experiences aren't always the most fulfilling personally or the best for you in the long run. 5. Take the time to really get to know people; they will surprise you. 6. Try not to stress and worry; you affect the energy of those around you. Plus it won't change the outcome, only how you feel about the process. 7. Have patience and be prepared. You never know when an opportunity will present itself. 8. Stay flexible and open to the process; explore any and all options. 9. Level set often. 10. Have fun in all you do. Don't take everything so seriously. Going through the college sports recruiting process is a crazy experience for the athlete and the parents. I've done it once in soccer, and now I'm going through it in volleyball. This week, I had a rare opportunity to step back and just observe, and a few things became pretty clear, and nearly all of them can be applied to our professional and personal lives. #youthsports #ncaa #recruiting #parenting #sportsparenting #illinoistech #usavolleyball
The College Recruiting Process Is Hard. I Watched As An Outsider, And Here's What I Saw.

Exciting conclusion to a month-long initiative yesterday! Delighted to wrap up a comprehensive free 4-week course tailored for aspiring footballers aiming to advance their careers. We had around from 35 players over the 4 weeks, and the positive feedback underscores the tangible impact of the program. A key highlight was the opportunity to connect with these players on a personal level, recognizing diverse ambitions converging towards a common goal of professional football. The course strategically addressed the need for innovative thinking, countering the prevalent generic communication approaches observed in countless messages from footballers worldwide. Insights from the course revealed prevalent challenges, including standardized CV structures, inefficient outreach strategies, and a lack of emphasis on relationship-building in communication. Notably, participants, despite their significant screen time (35-75 hours a week, primarily on TikTok, Instagram and other social media platforms), faced challenges in effective communication and timely responses. Addressing these multifaceted issues is paramount as players navigate the evolving landscape of football career pursuits. Encouraged by early success stories, it's evident that implementing tailored tools can yield positive outcomes. As we continue supporting these players, there lies the potential to unearth exceptional talents within the football community. Let's persist in our commitment to unlocking the full potential of these aspiring athletes. #FootballDevelopment #CareerAdvancement #Professionalism #CommunicationSkills

Howard University Cathy Hughes School of Communications Student | Social Justice Advocate Head Manager @ Howard Men’s Basketball
#Linkedinsportschallenge Day 15! 😁 “What communities are you apart of that have helped you in your sports career & how can other join?” I am one of 8 head managers for the Howard Men’s Basketball team. This is unique because we have more head managers than most teams have in total. We have almost 100 student managers this year across all 8 cohorts. I highly recommend becoming a manager for one of your schools sports teams if you’d like to work in pro sports. I’d give you a real time look at what your life could be like but on a smaller scale. Becoming a manager for the men’s basketball team is what made me realize I had an interest in pro sports. If you have a similar interest, you should reach out to a manager or coach an ask how you can become involved.

WOW- what an exciting time to be a sports fan! Or at least- we can all appreciate the talent, drive, and passion these athletes and coaches have, to compete AND win at the highest level💪🏼. With multiple college and professional championships going on this summer- including the Olympics (starting next month)-it had me thinking… How can we use that mindset in our own careers to be and stay at the top of our game? “𝑰𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒔𝒌 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒏 𝑶𝒍𝒚𝒎𝒑𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝒐𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒔 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒍𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒍 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒃𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒚 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒕.

Why play Division III sports? 🏆 A valid question that I’ve received more than once Here’s what I can tell you: Last Saturday was the annual NYU Men’s Volleyball alumni game Alumni came in from around the country — including Los Angeles, Charleston, and Chicago A few takeaways that I walked away with: 1️⃣ Community isn’t limited to Division I Athletics Strong alumni networks can exist at the DI, DII, DIII, and even JUCO NAIA levels. The strong NYU Athletics community is living proof of this, along with, for example, the NESCAC alumni networks. 2️⃣ Success ≠ Going Pro Unlike other athletic programs, success isn’t defined by playing at the professional level, and most teammates I played with didn’t go pro (other than Neil J. Ferraro). Instead, success is measured by growth — on both an individual and team level, setting and reaching goals, and building a strong team dynamic. 3️⃣ Being a 4-year student-athlete taught me more than I could imagine Time management. Incorporating feedback from coaches. Collaborating with teammates towards a common goal. Sacrificing on behalf of the team. Work ethic. The list goes on and on… and I’ve taken what I’ve learned from being a college athlete well beyond the 4-year time period and physical space of the volleyball court. 4️⃣ Don’t set the outside on match point This one’s for next year’s players. The scorecard for the first few sets got lost in the mail. The old guys couldn’t allow for a sweep (especially in the brand new Paulson arena) — and we took the last set in dramatic fashion: 30-28. In all seriousness, choosing to pursue athletics at the collegiate level was one of the smartest choices I’ve ever made If you (or someone you know) is on the fence about playing collegiate athletics, I hope this helps make that decision And even if you’re washed up like me, I encourage you to join an intramural or rec league team — you never know the community you may be joining 💪 #linkedinsports #studentathlete #athlete #sports #alumni

Findings suggest that members of college sports teams secure high-level jobs and earn approximately 3.4% more than non-athletes. What makes them successful? Very often, it's because of their persistence, teamwork, and resilience, which they honed while playing college-level sports. If you were an athlete in school, what qualities or skills did you acquire that helped your career? #PersonalDevelopment #Skills #CareerDevelopment https://lnkd.in/giGcSSuv

One thing this industry taught me - there's only so much you can learn by textbook. The rest is immersing yourself in it, trial and error and adapting when things go wrong (in live events, it's when, not if...). Rick Smith creates some incredible opportunities for his classes. If anyone in my network is able to support Rick, please consider sharing your insider experience with the next wave of sports industry leaders!

Sport industry folks #sportsbiz It's that time of year again where I seek mentors for our freshmen sport management students. The mentors talk with the students three times in the fall semester and the students complete associated assignments. We need 50 mentors!! Great problem to have ... we have 50 students in our two intro classes. Please message me on here with your email address if interested. I'll collect names and email mid-August. Thanks!! Also: we are doing job shadows again this term. If you can host a few students for a game or weekend, let us know! We pay expenses and travel to anything within a seven-hour drive. 📷: SMGT students working at Savannah Bananas game in Charleston, WV; Weekend at Michigan Athletics; night at Pitt basketball.
