Introduction to American Sports Model with Scott Minto - Director of Sports MBA @SDSU
In this episode, I had an awesome chat with Scott Minto - Director of Sports MBA at San Diego State University (@SDSU).
Scott shared his super interesting story. He is the first year alumni of this program and at the age of 26 he took over the program and it has been good 18 years now. WOW!
We met during my MBA at Real Madrid and the first thing I started doing from the class he taught, was, to hop on the podcast wagon. And since then I started to binge-listen on sports business podcasts. Some of them that we both listen to are Sports Business Journal, Bloomberg Business of Sports and Front Office Features. Please go and check them out as well.
The book of the episode: "We matter, Athletes and Activism" by Etan Thomas.
Key takeaway from this conversation: Doing things you think are unnecessary is an added value to you when you are trying to get into the industry. If you have a few hours, a weekend or even a free summer, go to your local club, sports organization and ask how you could help them. It will help you gain that experience which you can afterwards put on your resume and build up your network. Remember it is all about who you know in this industry!
