The growing popularity of #WomensSports has brought up a crucial conversation about the relationship between #sports and business. I can't think of anyone who represents this connection as well as Derek Jeter.
Over the course of his 20-year career with the New York Yankees, Jeter and the team won the World Series five times, and to this day, Jeter is the Yankees' all-time career leader in hits, doubles, stolen bases, games played, and more.
But Jeter's incredible #leadership skills aren't only evident through his baseball career; you can see it as clear as day in his business ventures as well. He quickly appeared in national campaigns for brands such as Nike, Gatorade, Subway, Ford, Visa, and the list goes on and on. In 2003, 2005, and 2010, he was ranked as the most marketable player in baseball.
His experience with business has gone far past promotions, however. He has developed an imprint, a website, and serves as brand development officer for Luvo Inc.
All this to say, the leadership lessons he learned in baseball had a direct impact on his interactions in the business world--- and a good one at that. Below, he explains how baseball formed his approach but I think some qualities are obviously beneficial to both sectors: Hard work, perseverance, and the value of connections.
