The Sports Business Association Mentorship Program connects students with leading professionals in the sports industry through a year-long, two-phase experience.
In the fall, students meet the mentors, begin building connections, and learn more about different career paths in sports.
In the spring, selected students are paired 1:1 with mentors for personalized guidance. This phase is designed to dive deeper through workshops, tailored career development, and one-on-one mentorship meetings.
The program equips students with the relationships, skills, and industry knowledge to take the next step in their sports business careers.
