What advice would you give?

Becoming successful in the Athletic industry is about what you do outside of school, as well as your life experiences. While you will draw upon some of your coursework, it's more about who you know and the connections you make in conjunction with your personal athletic experience and ability. Being a person who can quickly get along with anyone and has a growth mindset will take you far.
