What is the best advice you can give a person who wants to enter the field?
You need a ticket to the game to catch a foul ball. As a young kid growing up in Kansas City I caught thirteen foul balls at the Kansas City A’s games. In each case, I had a ticket to the game. If I didn’t have a ticket, I wouldn’t have gotten into the game and wouldn’t have caught the foul balls. For the past 40 years I have never left the world of sports. First I was an athlete, a coach, professor, compliance officer, academic advisor, athletic director, sports agent, and now an online sports career educator. There were very few options for a career in sports when I finished my athletic playing career. I, once again, needed a ticket to the game known as a career in sports.
