What Lessons I've Learned in My Career

WorkInSports Podcast host and VP of Content and Engaged Learning Brian Clapp is ending the year on an introspective note, and this question from Tasha Getten fits that theme:

“What are three things you do in your free time that you believe have helped advance you in your career?”

For Brian, the three things he did during downtime early in his career that taught him how to work in sports were:

• Reading: Everything from newspapers, magazines, sports autobiographers, and business books to raise his knowledge of the industry and of managing people.
• Asking questions at work: It shows that you are engaging and curious in what you do.
• Making time to have fun: It is important to enjoy yourself, interact with other people, and prevent burnout.
