Research everything that interests you. Look for volunteer opportunities or internships. Network with people based on your interest and pick their brains for information.

Nolan’s Answer

Hi Jerry! There are plenty of jobs within sports organizations. In addition to the front office staff (GM, president of hockey operations, etc), professional teams operate similarly to other businesses behind the scenes. For example, pro teams still have accounting and marketing departments like a retail store does. But the upside is that your industry may be more exciting! Try to narrow down ideas of what you may be interested in doing within the organization!

It is best to network and get your foot in the door with a team, which may be an unpaid internship or working some game day operations. Think about business school, or more specifically a sports management program, which may help getting into game day operations.
