Building Premium Experiences at Providence Park

I've never met Brian, and this isn't meant to take away from his post but add to it. Remember that this isn't a full list. - Get in any way you can - Yes. Make connections, get experience, get exposure. But don't treat those opportunities like a "foot in the door". - Get transferable skills - Absolutely. Build your skills set and know where you want to go. - Add Value in your current role - Absolutely. Always. There's one important step that I want to make sure isn't ignored. You have to know where you're heading before you can know how to get there. When people ask me about getting a job in the NBA, there is a LOT of variance to that question. A job in Scouting looks a lot different than a job in Sponsorship. Don't treat them like they're the same. Paths can and often will change mid route, and that's OK, but don't "One size fits all" the league or industry.

“How do I get a job at the NBA?” I’m also asked this question at least three times a week. Here are three tips I always share with aspiring professionals looking to break into the league: ▪️Get in any way you can: full-time, part-time, internship, or even volunteering! ▪️Gather transferable skills at all levels of basketball: HS, AAU, college, or even with a brand connected to basketball culture. ▪️While building strong networking in the NBA is key, having skills and experiences that bring value to your job is also crucial. The NBA is one of the most globally recognized sports leagues, and working there is more competitive than ever. I’m making a curated selection of career tools, guides, templates, and everything you need to advance your career to help you land a job in the NBA. 📲 Comment your email below, and we’ll add you to Sports Business Ventures' early access list to receive these resources.
