How to Apply for a Sports Internship

Sports Interns

While lounging back in your desk during a class lecture, those
daydreams begin materializing and you don’t mind- you’re getting ready to
graduate. In fact, you’re looking for an internship, excited for what the
future holds and the real time work experience waiting for you before that hard
earned diploma is placed in your eager palms during college graduation.

Applying for an internship is like reaching a pinnacle in your
fledgling career. It’s that stepping stone between school and a professional
job, where you’ll get to put your education to the test while developing new
skills.

You may not even be a student- perhaps you want to look outside
the box of your current job and try something new. No matter where you are in
life, applying for an internship is a process that will give you the time and
tasks to learn and grow in your career.

 If you love sports and dream of a career working alongside others
who enjoy it just as much as you do, then a sports internship could be your
ticket to career enrichment that allows you to promote yourself early on and
stand out to employers in a competitive field. Here is some golden advice to
keep in mind when applying for a sports internship.

  1. Choose your track: There are so many outlets to work
        in when it comes to sports, from marketing to media and tournament
        operations to medicine. Analyze your current skills and goals before
        choosing a specific internship to pursue. Did you take a lot of media
        courses in school? If so, then a marketing internship could be a good fit
        for you.
  2. Show your passion: Why do you want a sports
        internship? Organizations that are looking for interns want to know about
        your interest in the sport, so take some time to think about a personal
        experience to share when applying. Did you play the sport professionally
        in college or high school? Did you take part in some type of club, camp or
        volunteer event that is sports related? Let them know about it!
  3. Pick wisely: Don’t get too hasty with choosing an
        organization that you’d like to work with. Remember, you want to get the
        most out of your experience, as it will prepare you for graduation and a
        career. What benefits does the organization offer its interns? How many
        hours and what type of work can one expect? Will there be travel? These
        are important questions to consider.
  4. Do your research: Before you rock up to your
        interview, take some time to research the organization where you’re
        applying for an internship. Get a feel for their mission and persona. Know
        what it is they do exactly and what they look for in employees. Write down
        some questions of your own to take with you to the interview.

Be confident: Smile! Shoulders back! Head up! When you go in
for your internship interview, you want to exude confidence and passion. Speak
clearly and with conviction. Show your interest and be comfortable in
presenting yourself using past experiences as examples and showing interest in
the organization’s mission. Go out there and get “Ëœem!
