The eMentor sponsored sports event asks, "Want to Know What It Takes to Make it in Pro Sports?" was a real eye opener for me. Prior to this event, I have given thought to a career in professional sports, but I never followed up on my inquires.
The experts were able to give me the ins' and outs' of what it takes to take up a professional career in sports and how to be successful throughout that career.
I had the privilege of gracing the presence of sports pioneers: Gord Ash, Assistant General Manager, Milwaukee Brewers; John Hammond, General Manager, Milwaukee Bucks; John H. Steinmiller, Manager of Media Relations, Milwaukee Brewers. Not only was this event fun-filled, but I learned a lot from these pros in sports.
Throughout the discussion, I increasingly became interested, due to the experiences that were shared and the advice that was given. The insight Gord, John H. and John S. gave is undoubtedly helpful.
My favorite part of the event is when they each shared a personal experience of their own before they reached the level in their career's they are now. John explained that in any career one must climb the ladder to make it to the top. Success is something that does not happen over night.
John could not have simplified that more. I encounter so many individuals who want hand outs or numerous favors. I have learned that unless you are born with a "silver spoon" in your mouth, you have to work.
Overall this event was nonetheless beneficial because it was insightful. I was honored to be a part of this event. Most importantly, I learned what it takes to make it in the professional world of sports.
