Women’s sport is growing quickly and I would like to build my career in that space. Are there communities, experiences or approaches that are especially helpful for meeting people doing the work?
SPMA provides a practical starting answer. Add first-hand experience, a different perspective or a useful example from the industry.
Start by following the leagues, teams, agencies, brands, media companies and professional groups that are actively building in women’s sport, then participate where the work is happening. Attend industry events, volunteer at competitions, join relevant professional communities and request focused informational conversations with people in the function you want to enter. Avoid treating women’s sport as a networking trend; learn the business and audience. A strong functional skill in partnerships, ticketing, media, events, analytics or operations gives people a concrete reason to stay connected with you.
