The Kicks's Relation To Sport Business
The Kicks focuses on the player side of sport with Devin Burke being the star athlete. Having moved to California and joining the struggling team, The Kicks, she becomes the one necessary to their success. However, when an opportunity comes up to play at a higher level, she jumps at the chance. She isn't able to play for both so picks the higher level team when she hears positive feedback from the coach. But, she ends up not making the roster and needs to get back into the good books of The Kicks.
Those who join teams, need to be 100% committed. Yes, better opportunities always arise in sport. But one has to know they are ready for those chances. Additionally, mentioning something to your current team is beneficial in giving them a heads up. Leaving them without warning will always leave bitterness and a sense of abandonment. It sometimes takes a while to gain trust back once lost, so if anything, this can be an example of that.
