What Sports Biz Boot Camp Alums Are Saying

Professor Master,

Thank you so much for the opportunity to participate in the Sports Biz Boot Camp. It was an incredible experience, and I truly appreciate you putting this program together.

Hearing from the guest speakers was a highlight for me. Getting a “behind-the-scenes” look at their career paths and hearing their stories first hand provided me with a lot of valuable perspective on the industry that you just can’t get anywhere else. I would love to stay in touch as I continue to work towards the industry.

Thank you again for your time and the effort you put into this amazing program

Best regards,

Professor Master,

First, I want to thank you for making your seminar both engaging and insightful. Honestly, I was nervous beforehand, but you made the subject matter and the atmosphere approachable, and I really appreciate that.

I also want to say that it isn’t often I find classes with such practical takeaways. Hearing from graduates about their journeys from college to internship to career—while emphasizing the importance of networking—was eye-opening. All in all, I wanted to share my biggest takeaway from the weekend: I left feeling not only motivated but also inspired to pursue sports management as my major in college.

Thank you again for sharing your time and expertise. Please keep me in the loop if you ever offer more classes!

All the best,

Lily W

Professor Master,

Thank you so much for running such an incredible sports business program this past weekend. I truly appreciate all the time and effort you put into organizing the event and bringing in such knowledgeable and interesting guest speakers.

I really enjoyed learning about the many different paths within the sports industry, and I found the entire experience both informative and inspiring. It was clear how much thought went into the schedule, the speakers, and the overall program, and it made the experience even more meaningful for students like me who are interested in studying sports management in college.

Thank you again for creating such a great opportunity and for hosting such a well-organized and engaging program. I’m very grateful to have been a part of it.

Sincerely,
