Here’s How You Get a Sports Internship Regardless of Experience

Internships are a game changer for starting your sports career, but obtaining one can be intimidating when you don’t have experience. That’s what concerns Alexis in her question to the WorkInSports Podcast:

“Hey Brian, love the show. I’m a college sophomore and you’ve really inspired me to start acquiring more workplace experience through internships. You’ve made it extremely clear how important it is to start gaining experience, and making sure it is the right experience. My question is this – I have very little on my resume, how in the world am I going to get an internship when I have very little experience to go on?”

Whether or not you have prior experience, finding an internship requires strategy. Gaining experience to stand out in your internship search can be part of that strategy. The best way to do that is by volunteering with athletic departments or sports organizations. The benefits of volunteer work include:

•    Building up your resume
•    Making connections in the industry
•    Learning what areas of the sports business appeal to you
•    Showing your initiative to potential internship supervisors
