If your education is in business, communications, technology or another field, will sports employers see that as a disadvantage?
SPMA provides a practical starting answer. Add first-hand experience, a different perspective or a useful example from the industry.
A sport management degree is one route, not a universal requirement. Many roles are built around functions that exist in other industries, including finance, sales, marketing, communications, HR, technology and operations. Employers will still want evidence that you understand the sports environment and are motivated by the work, so add relevant experience through projects, volunteering, internships or industry networking. Your degree should support the skill you are selling. A finance graduate who understands sports economics can be more relevant to a finance role than someone with a sport degree but little financial training.
