Sports Management Handbook
So today was Orientation for my Sports Management Program at USF! I’m super excited to start this new chapter in my life and I can’t wait to see where this takes me.
The Orientation went well and I was able to meet a lot of my Cohort. My Cohort (Cohort 38! Woot Woot!) seemed like a really cool bunch and I really think we’re all going to get along and have lots of fun. We all have different backgrounds and experiences that I know will make us a strong and well-rounded Cohort.
There were a few Alumni (and current students) of the program that came to speak and they give us a little insight on what the program did (or is doing) for them and their careers in the Sports Industry. The Alumni were great representatives of the program and they got me even more excited about all the opportunities that will be presented to me, and my Cohort, in the coming months.
Our first class starts tomorrow night and I’m super excited to get started! Grad School, lehhhh goooo!!! Cheers!!!

What exactly does sports management entail??
Sport Management entails anything and everything SPORT! People in my Cohort have goals of becoming GMs for Pro Sports teams, some want to be Athletic Directors, some people want to work for Sports Marketing, and me, I want to open up my own Fitness/Wellness facility. There’s so much you can do with this Program; it opens the door to so much in the Sporting Industry. The classes in this Program are: (1) Leadership & Critical Thinking, (2) Sport Marketing, (3) Sports Business Research, (4) Accounting & Budgeting in Sports, (5) Sports Economics & Finance, (6) Business Development & Sales in Sport, (7) Managing Sport in a Dynamic Environment, (8) Sport Law, (9) Strategic Management in Sport, (10) and a bunch of electives. It’s a ton of work, but it’s all related to Sports so its FUN!
