How can I start building skills or experiences now that would help me succeed in a future marketing career, and are there ways I can connect my background in sports (like wrestling) to opportunities in marketing?

I've wrestled in high school for the last 3 years, track and field for 2 years, and football for 4 years. I'm looking to study marketing with a possible minor in communications. I'm looking to continue to wrestle in college as well.

Hey Gabriel, it would be great if you started documenting your journey as a wrestler. You can use platforms like Instagram or TikTok and have fun exploring their features. Think of it as a way to share your skills and market yourself. It's a cool way to show off what you can do to future employers and gain skills that will help in your career.

Hi Gabriel! Consider looking into companies in the field. I've been an athlete since school and prior to the current company I work for I was the Social Media Marketing Manager for a sports supplement and clothing company for bodybuilders and powerlifters. I wasn't lifting in front of the camera as an athlete as I preferred to stay behind the camera, but I was able to combine my graphic design and marketing skills in a career in an industry I was passionate about.
