What careers could I pursue with a sports marketing degree?

Answer 1

This is all about promoting a sports team. You can potentially handle group sales to organizing promotions, such as giveaways, to get more people in to see the team.

Probably the most common way to get a job in sports marketing is through a minor-league organization. You may want to check around different minor-league baseball teams, for example, and see what the duties might entail of someone with experience in sports marketing.

Here's the minor-league baseball site to get you started to maybe looking at some teams in your area:

Answer 2

I really do not know enough about the fields to venture an answer, but I will try to provide my opinion in the best form possible. To answer the part of your question "What does it take to get into these careers?", well, I would say the same as anythings else, hard work, dedication, intense knowledge of the subject matter, and an insane amount of luck. Many of these fields are highly competitive and requires an relationship with inner circle people who are in the know. Politics will be politics. This is especially true for Coaching and Manager. However, becoming an athletic director for a local organization or school is not very difficult, however many of those programs, at least where I am from, require a background in education & teaching, and experience in athletic business. Marketing is probably your best bet, however you will probably be required to work with and gain experience in both business and advertising. Sports Facility Management would probably be the easiest, though a lot of business education and experience will probably be required. Again, I am really not familiar with any of these positions and I do not what is specifically required for each one. I might suggest that you seek out people in your local community to currently hold these positions, and ask them to provide you with knowledge of how they attained their position, such as work and intern experience, and also their education background and details on how they landed their position. Try to pick a field that seems most interesting to you and which you feel you will enjoy the most. This is the key to a "Good Job". If you enjoy what you are doing, then the job will not seem like work, and you will do a better job at it. The decision is ultimately up to you, but I would suggest speaking with people in those occupations and gaining a better idea of what is required and which position you would enjoy best. I sincerely hope that this helps!
