The potential and power of athletes has transformed in recent years... But what about the Players Association supporting them? On Tuesday, Brooklyn Entertainment and Sports Law Society (BESLS) had the privilege of hosting a panel that focused on the evolving role of Players Associations — with panelists from the MLBPA, NFLPA, and WNBPA. Here’s one lesson that I learned from our amazing moderator + panelists: Shawn McDonald If you want it, work for it. No one "deserves" their dream job. Shawn shared with us that it took him several years to break into the sports industry and, when networking and meeting people for the first time, he'd remember one tidbit or piece of information that would allow him to effectively and creatively follow up with his new connections. Chelsey Antony (Thomas) You don’t have to take the traditional path. In sports law, the traditional path — and what many people will advise you to do — is work in Big Law before transitioning in-house to a team, union, or league. But Chelsey is living proof that combining heart, skill, instinct and your network enables you to forge your own path and accomplish your greatest goals. Andrae A.D. Nelson, Esq. Excel at your craft. Your time starts now. Make time for family. Don’t lose your balance. As a former collegiate and professional athlete, Andrae exemplifies how one can leverage the lessons they learned on the court when jumpstarting their professional career. Michael Goldsholl Become someone who adds value as a team player and is ready to step up to any challenge. As a law student, Michael got his foot in the door as an intern at the WNBPA. Since 2015, Michael has built relationships, gone above and beyond expectations, and is continuing to have an impact on a league that is reaching new heights — both in viewership and cultural impact. A huge thank you to our panelists, moderator, and the BESLS team — Allie Olnowich, Will Bennett, Aniqa Chowdhury, and Haley Zenenberg for putting on a wonderful panel 🙏🏼 #linkedinsports #athlete #advocate #lawstudent #sports
