As a sports professional, you understand the importance of having a competitive edge. To stand out from the crowd, you want to grow your skillset to help you achieve maximum performance in all aspects of your job. Your ability to make in-game decisions isn’t enough. Effective leaders need to be able to motivate their team, expertly market their school or organization and be well-versed on important industry trends.
